Section 6211.84 - Purchase bid requirements

Purchase of services, major renovations, capital equipment, and supplies that exceed $5,000 annually must be made through a competitive bidding process or a request for proposal process. Certain professional services included but not limited to those of practitioners and attorneys are exempt from this requirement. A bid may be obtained for a maximum of 3 years. Facilities shall not purchase in a piecemeal fashion to avoid the $5,000 limit. Purchases without bids shall be based upon sole source justification supported by documentation of the uniqueness or the limited availability of the service.
