Law of Acquisitions, Leases, and Services: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Understand the legal framework governing federal procurement activities and the strict rules for direct adjudications in Mexico.
This law serves as the official rulebook that governs how the federal government acquires goods, leases property, and hires services.
Who it's for
This framework applies to all public sector suppliers and procurement officers involved in federal activities.
What you get
You receive the legal guidelines and procedures required to conduct all federal procurement activities. It provides the structure for how the government buys what it needs to operate.
What it costs you
It is free to access the regulations via the Official Gazette (DOF).
The catch to know
You must strictly follow the rules regarding direct adjudications (assigning contracts without a competitive bidding process), as these specific sections are subject to heavy auditing.
How to apply
- Review the legal framework to ensure your business or role is compliant.
- Follow the specific procurement procedures for your type of service or good.
- Ensure all documentation for direct awards meets the required audit standards.
- Check the Official Gazette for the most recent updates to the law.
