Public works: the registries that filtered who could compete fall

Decree 105/2025 eliminates sector registries that operated as an entry barrier to contracting with the national State. Its art. 1 repeals art. 13 of Law 13.064 (National Registry of Public-Works Constructors, the basis of the capacity certificate the ONC required); its art. 3 fully repeals Law 22.460 (consulting firms); its art. 4 replaces art. 27 of Decree 1023/01: now any natural or legal person with capacity to bind itself, not covered by art. 28, can participate by enrolling in a single database that the Governing Body will design, implement and administer. The three articles and their literal texts are confirmed by direct reading of the primary source (Official Gazette notice 321315). INTERPRETIVE NUANCE (not read in the primary source): the CONSULTING-FIRMS Registry had reportedly been operationally void from earlier (Decree 917/1994 is cited), so 105/2025 would repeal the remaining legal shell; the CONSTRUCTORS registry was indeed alive and operational until 2025, and that suppression is this administration's substantive change. Complementary data, pending confirmation in the primary source: the deepening via Decree 206/2025 (which would create the Co-contractors Information System, SICO) was NOT read in the primary source and could not be confirmed. verif · Feb 17, 2025 ↗

In force from its publication in the Official Gazette (02/18/2025). No reversal or judicial halt was found. A rule later than 12/10/2023: it belongs to this administration. verif · Feb 18, 2025 ↗

Construction companies and consulting firms that contract public works and services with the National Public Administration. It eliminates the prior filter of mandatory enrollment/certification in sector registries: the universe of potential bidders widens (SMEs and new entrants that previously were left out for lacking the Constructors Registry's capacity certificate). Per the text of art. 4, control moves to a single database administered by the Governing Body (its concrete implementation —the SICO of Decree 206/2025— remains to be confirmed in the primary source). verif · Feb 17, 2025 ↗
