Dear Hernando Gabotero,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Feb 23, 2023 11:27:08 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for Procurement Method for the Green Energy Option Program (GEOP).

Response to Request

Your FOI request is approved. Below is the answer to your query: 

Section 4.1 of the 2016 revised IRR of RA 9184 provides that the IRR of RA 9184  shall apply to all procurement of any branch, agency, department, bureau, office, or instrumentality of the Government of the Philippines (GoP), including government-owned and/or -controlled corporations (GOCCs), government financial institutions (GFIs), state universities and colleges (SUCs), and local government units (LGUs). 

RA 9184 shall apply to all procurements made by the GoP using public funds. Hence as long as public funds are used or contemplated to be spent to procure the services of the service provider (renewable), then it is covered by  RA 9184 and its IRR. (NPM 048-2015)

The foregoing reply was made based on existing particular facts presented and circumstances availing, and may not, therefore, be applicable given a different set of facts and circumstances. 
 
We hope to have sufficiently clarified the matter at hand.
