El sistema federal de contratación de los Estados Unidos: una introducción

The U.S. Federal Procurement System: An Introduction

Contenido principal del artículo

Christopher R. Yukins

Resumen

Este artículo proporciona una introducción al derecho de la contratación estatal de los Estados Unidos, especialmente el derecho federal, que está más desarrollado que el derecho de los estados o el derecho local, y que tiene lecciones que pueden ser útiles para otros sistemas. El artículo se divide en siete partes y su análisis abarca la historia, que ha dotado al sistema de sus características actuales; el acceso al mercado y las potenciales barreras de entrada; los principales métodos de contratación en el sistema federal; los principales tipos de contratos; el sistema de protestas para los oferentes agraviados; y los mecanismos de protección anticorrupción del sistema estadounidense. Todos estos elementos actúan como piezas de un engranaje que, sin ser perfecto, ha evolucionado a lo largo de los años para llegar a ser un régimen de contratación estatal que es, a la vez, complejo y maduro.
