本文針對政府採購法第85條之1第2項「廠商提付仲裁，機關不得拒絕」的規定是否違憲的問題進行探討。我國絕大多數學者均謂此為「強制仲裁」規定。不少學者甚至主張本仲裁規定違反憲法對訴訟權及平等權之保障，法務部及行政院公共工程委員會亦持類似見解。本文針對此規定進行初步探討，結論認為此仲裁規定應非「強制仲裁」，亦應無違憲論者所主張之違憲疑慮。然而對涉及高度公共利益之政府採購紛爭，是否宜以仲裁解決？雖非本文討論範圍，但本文於最後提出一些具體建議。

Article 85-1 of Taiwanese Government Procurement Act provides that under some circumstances the government cannot refuse disputes to be referred to arbitration. Many argue that it violates the Taiwanese Constitution, namely the right of access to the court as well as the equal protection of the law. This article addresses this issue, and concludes that the above Article 85-1 is neither a ”mandatory arbitration” provision, nor against the Constitution.
