The purchase of furniture and equipment will be directly addressed through legislation; therefore, the following procedures have been developed by the Bureau as guidelines for the acquisition of furniture and equipment.
Every attempt will be made by the Bureau to adhere and abide by the Procurement Manual issued by the Department of Finance and Administration's Office of Purchasing and Travel, which is an exhaustive presentation of procedures relative to purchasing by all state entities. However, the Bureau is a contracting agency rather than a regulatory agency and some deviations will be made.
