     According to the Government Procurement and Procurement Administration Act 2017, Section 55 (3) prescribes specific methods, there are problems: 1) the procurement committee or officials use their discretion to invite entrepreneurs any one of those eligibility requirements to submit a proposal or to come to negotiate prices with government agencies maybe against the principles of the Government Procurement and Inventory Management Act 2017 which focuses on Integrity, transparency, accountability, and justice, including providing an opportunity for a large number of contestants to bid fairly and that there may be discrimination; 2) the conditions of the use of specific methods, both the general invitation method and the selection method or using the selection method but there are no proposals or the proposal has not been selected should be limited to the case that no one qualifies a proposal also setting a limit for a single procurement of no more than 500,000 baht can cause deliberation because there is only one operator and discretion from the staff of a single parcel. 3) There is no definition of "accident ornatural disaster" in any way. 4) Procurement that has already been procured and there is a need for additional procurement for completion or continued use should be clarified that procurement by specific methods is due to the intellectual property rights and there is a need for the use of the intellectual property or that monopolised technology.
