Rule 11-106.5 - Use of competitive selection

State agencies shall use competitive selection to acquire services from private entities when the estimated annual value of the service contract is equal to or greater than $5,000 or when the estimated value of the multiyear service contract in the aggregate, including any renewals, is equal to or greater than $15,000 unless there is adequate justification for a sole source or emergency procurement pursuant to rule 106.7(8A) or 106.8(8A) or another provision of law.

(1) When the estimated annual value of the service contract is equal to or greater than $50,000 or the estimated value of the multiyear service contract in the aggregate, including any renewals, exceeds $150,000, a state agency shall use a formal competitive selection process to procure the service.

(2) When the estimated annual value of the service contract is equal to or greater than $5,000 but less than $50,000 and the estimated value of the multiyear service contract in the aggregate, including any renewals, does not exceed $150,000, a state agency, in its sole discretion, shall use either a formal or informal competitive selection process to engage a service provider

(3) The requirement to use competitive selection to select a service provider when the estimated annual value of the service contract is equal to or greater than $5,000 or when the estimated value of the multiyear service contract in the aggregate, including renewals, is equal to or greater than $15,000 applies even when the state agency purchases services from a private entity and designates the contract it enters into with the private entity as a 28E agreement.
