21.5.3. An enterprise becomes ineligible for public contracts as of the date on which the enterprise is registered in the register of enterprises ineligible for public contracts under section 21.6. The period of ineligibility lasts five years, except(1) where the ineligibility results from the situation described in subparagraph 3 of the first paragraph of section 21.4; in that case, the enterprise’s ineligibility ends as soon as the period of ineligibility of the enterprise that caused it to be registered in the register ends; or
(2) where the ineligibility is imposed temporarily; in that case, the period of ineligibility is the one that results from the application of the third paragraph of section 21.48.4.
Despite the first paragraph, the enterprise’s ineligibility for public contracts ends as soon as an authorization to contract referred to in Division III is granted to it.
