Section 12-6-3.102.05 - Procuring Commodities and Services Produced or Offered by State Agencies

Agency requirements may be fulfilled by procuring supplies produced or services performed incident to the State's own programs, such as Mississippi Industries for the Blind. The Chief Procurement Officer or the head of the purchasing agency shall determine whether such supplies or services meet the State's requirements and whether the price represents a fair market value for such supplies or services. When such procurements are made from other state agencies, the private sector need not be solicited to compete against other agencies.
