The Honduras Ley de Contratacion del Estado (Law of State Contracting) approved by Decreto 74-2001 of 31 May 2001 (published in La Gaceta No. 29.575 of 1 September 2001 effective 1 October 2001), as amended by Decreto 25-2002 and Decreto 36-2013, and supplemented by the Reglamento de la Ley de Contratacion del Estado approved by Acuerdo Ejecutivo PCM-009-2007 of 6 March 2007 as amended, is the principal Honduran statute governing procurement of goods, services, and works by entities of the State Public Administration including the Executive Branch ministries, the Legislative Branch (Congreso Nacional), the Judicial Branch, the Public Ministry, the Court of Accounts (Tribunal Superior de Cuentas), the Electoral Tribunal (Tribunal de Justicia Electoral), decentralized institutions (Instituciones Descentralizadas), departmental and municipal governments, public-sector enterprises, and other entities financed by the State budget. The Oficina Normativa de Contratacion y Adquisiciones del Estado (ONCAE / oncae.gob.hn) under the Secretaria de Estado en los Despachos de Finanzas is the central regulatory authority responsible for procurement regulation, oversight, supplier debarment, and procurement guidance. The HonduCompras portal (honducompras.gob.hn) operated by ONCAE is the mandatory federal e-procurement platform for in-scope procurement. Procurement methods established by LCE art. 38 to 75 comprise (a) Licitacion Publica (Public Tender, the default open public procedure for high-value acquisitions above prescribed thresholds), (b) Licitacion Privada (Private Tender, with prequalification for medium-value acquisitions), (c) Concurso (Competition, for consulting services), (d) Compra Menor (Minor Procurement, for low-value acquisitions below prescribed thresholds), (e) Contratacion Directa (Direct Procurement, sole-source under prescribed exceptions in art. 63 including emergency, sole supplier for technical reasons, prior failed tendering, and prescribed-class exemptions), and (f) Subasta Electronica Inversa (Reverse Electronic Auction). The Tribunal Superior de Cuentas conducts procurement audit. Honduras is a party to CAFTA-DR (in force 2006), the EU-Central America Association Agreement (in force 2013), the SIECA framework, and UNCAC. Honduras is NOT a party to the WTO GPA.
