A. The corporation shall initiate procurement by preparation of a procurement authorization which authorizes the procurement. The procurement authorization shall clearly state the goods or services to be procured, the corporation's need for the goods or services, an estimate of the anticipated cost of the procurement and a listing of potential contractors. The listing of potential contractors shall include all businesses known to the corporation as being in the business of supplying the subject goods or services and from whom a response to the corporation's request for proposals would enhance the competition among businesses for the procurement contract. The listing need not be included if it would include over 10 potential contractors. The president (or in his absence the vice president or the secretary-treasurer), the procurement officer and the division head of the division for which the procurement will occur shall execute the procurement authorization and the procurement officer shall immediately send copies of the procurement authorization to all directors.
