Subchapter 5 - ELECTRONIC PROCUREMENT
Section 5:34-5.4 - Procurements using electronic procurement platform and parallel paper-based process
In a single competitive procurement that is not a reverse auction, a local unit may allow offerors the option of using either an electronic procurement platform or the paper-based process set forth in the Local Public Contracts Law, N.J.S.A. 40A:11-1et seq., Public School Contracts Law, N.J.S.A. 18A:18A-1et seq., or such other New Jersey law as may be applicable to the procurement, to submit an offer. All paper-based offer submissions shall be opened at the same date and time as offers submitted through the local unit's electronic procurement platform, at which time the local unit shall upload the paper-based offer submissions onto the platform. This section shall not be interpreted to prevent local units from requiring all offers to be submitted through an electronic procurement platform and prohibiting paper-based offer submissions.
