Section 12-6-3.112.02 - Policy

Solicitations should only be issued when there is a valid procurement need unless the solicitation states that it is for informational purposes only.

Preparing and distributing a solicitation requires the expenditure of time and funds. Businesses likewise incur expense in examining and responding to solicitations. Therefore, although issuance of a solicitation does not compel award of a contract, a solicitation is to be canceled only when there are compelling reasons to believe that the cancellation of the solicitation is in the State's best interest.
