A. Unless a requirement can be met only by the leased supply as determined in writing by an officer above the level of procurement officer, a purchase option in a lease may be exercised only if the lease containing the purchase option was awarded under competitive sealed bidding. Before exercising such an option the chief procurement officer shall:

1. investigate alternative means of procuring comparable supplies; and,

2. compare estimated costs and benefits associated with the alternative means and the exercise of such option, for example, the benefit of buying new state-of-the-art equipment compared to the estimated initial savings associated with exercise of a purchase option.
