<![CDATA[This study is based on the main issue of the transition to the 2025 Version 6 E-Catalog system in all government agencies, which requires major adaptation to the latest procurement regulations. The purpose of this study is to analyze the extent to which the implementation of this system meets the principles of government procurement of goods and services. Using a descriptive qualitative method through in-depth interviews with Commitment Making Officials, Procurement Officials, and the E-Catalog Team of the West Java Provincial Goods and Services Procurement Bureau, it was found that although the system has succeeded in increasing transparency, efficiency, and healthy competition through its automatic curation feature, there are still issues in terms of effectiveness and accountability. The flexibility of the system was considered low due to the time limit for ordering (H-1), which hinders sudden needs, as well as the gap in the auditors' understanding of the E-Audit feature, which triggers the need for physical document reserves. The conclusion of the research emphasizes that this digital transformation requires a technical evaluation of operational flexibility and synchronization of perceptions between procurement actors and auditors. This is crucial so that E-Catalog Version 6 is not only superior in terms of its digital-based system but also applicable in optimally and accountably supporting the dynamic needs of local governments.]]>
