Section R2-7-A907 - Stay of Procurement during Appeal to Director

A. If a stay is issued under R2-7-A902, the filing of an appeal shall automatically continue the stay, unless the Director makes a written determination that the award of the contract or a notice to proceed with contract performance is necessary to protect the substantial interests of the state.

B. Following a review of the agency chief procurement officer's or the state procurement officer's decision and the interested party's appeal, the director may stay the procurement if the director determines that there is a reasonable probability the protest will be upheld or that a stay is in the best interests of the state.
