Dominican Republic INABIE procurement developments

Overview

Dominican textile and footwear industry associations, including ASITEC, APIMETEX, ADITEX, and ADOCALZA, have expressed support for Adolfo Pérez, the executive director of the National Institute of Student Welfare (INABIE). These groups praised the implementation of technical criteria, such as using Social Security (TSS) data, to verify supplier capacity and ensure transparency in school supply tenders.

In related developments regarding the School Feeding Program (PAE), supplier associations noted that the bidding process for the Extended School Day involved approximately 2,644 bidders, with 1,740 contracts awarded. The associations highlighted that strengthened due diligence and investigations have helped detect irregularities, such as “ghost kitchens,” thereby increasing transparency and providing more equal opportunities for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).
