Legal detail
P. del S. 731 (19th Leg. Assembly), sponsored by majority senator Wilmer Reyes Berríos, would create the 'Ley de Subastas Públicas con Inteligencia Artificial de Puerto Rico.' Mandates use of the Joint E-Procurement Digital Intelligence (JEDI) AI platform — which natively complies with Law 73-2019 and uniform regulations — across all executive-branch agencies covered by Law 73-2019. Centralizes all government acquisitions, purchasing, and public auctions under the Administration of General Services (ASG-PR). JEDI incorporates the eight acquisition methods recognized by Law 73-2019, automates official publications, and allows configurable agency/purchase-type workflows. Evidence presented to legislative commission: JEDI natively complies with Law 73-2019 and requires no additional development, while Oracle alternative requires complex additional configuration.
