Another useful early-stage signal comes from the Dominican Republic, where Inabie has opened a public consultation on the contracting conditions for school supplies for the 2027-2028 and 2028-2029 school years. Interested parties have until 21 October to comment before the final tender documents are published. One detail matters a lot here: the call is directed exclusively to domestic manufacturing MSMEs. So this is not just a consultation. It is also an access rule, and suppliers outside that group need to read the market accordingly.
