306.01 Awarding of contracts

After completing the evaluation of bids or proposals, the Division will select a bidder or reject all bids. The Division will then begin negotiating with the bidder, or award a contract. All major procurements, must be approved by the State Tax Commissioner.

306.01A The Division shall resolve ties among bids or proposals which are equal in all respects by drawing lots unless only one of the tied bidders is a Nebraska business. If only one of the bidders tied for an award is a Nebraska business, the Nebraska business shall be given preference over all tied out-of-state businesses.
306.01A(1) If it is necessary to draw lots the drawing shall, whenever practical, be held in the presence of the vendors who submitted the tied bids or proposals. If the tied vendors are not present, the drawing shall be held in front of at least two persons, and the Division shall document the drawing.

306.02 Rejection of bids or proposals

The Division reserves the right to reject any or all bids or proposals. Bids or proposals may be rejected because of faulty specifications, abandonment of the project, insufficient funds, evidence of unfair or flawed bidding process, failure of a bidder to meet the Division's requirements, or for any other reason if the Division determines that the best interests of lottery will be served by rejecting any or all bids. Following the rejection of bids, new bids may be requested by the Division at any time deemed convenient by the Division.
