(1) Multiple Award Contracts. Awarding a contract for an indefinite quantity of a product or service to more than one seller. Contracts may be entered on a multiple award basis when the manager of procurement services determines that one or more of the following criteria is applicable:
(a) It
is administratively or economically impractical to develop or modify
specifications for a myriad of related supplies because of rapid technological
changes.
(b) The subjective nature
in the use of certain supplies and the fact that recognizing this need creates
a more efficient use of the item.
(c) It is administratively or economically
impractical to develop or modify specifications because of the heterogeneous
nature or dissimilar attributes of the product lines.
(d) There is a need for compatibility with
existing systems.
(e) The
department should select the contractor to furnish the supply, service or
construction based upon best value or return on investment.
(f) The product or service being procured
serves a purpose of preventing or forestalling a threat to public health,
welfare or safety.
(2) The Department may use invitations for bids or requests for proposals to solicit for multiple award contracts.
(3) If the Department anticipates entering into a multiple award contract before issuing the invitation for bids or request for proposals, it will:
(a) State in
the solicitation that the Department may enter into multiple award contracts at
the end of the procurement process, and
(b) describe the methodology the Department
will use to determine the number of contract awards.
