PPRB has approved statewide lists of preapproved vendors which were procured by OPSCR or DFA for various commonly used services. Any statewide PVL procured by OPSCR or DFA shall be solicited using one of the competitive methods of procurement described in Chapter 3. OPSCR or DFA shall follow the rules and regulations applicable to the chosen method of procurement.
The PVLs shall be posted on the DFA website. The contracting Agency should locate the PVL for the service needed and locate the region where the service is to be provided. The Agency is encouraged, but not required, to contact the lowest bidder in the region first.
Once a vendor is selected, the Agency and the vendor should negotiate a contract. The Agency may use the contract template for the selected service provided on the DFA website. Use of the contract template is optional. The Agency may use its own contract if it is compliant with the relevant solicitation and contains the terms and conditions required by these rules and regulations.
PPRB has delegated authority to OPSCR staff to approve Agency contracts with vendors from any PVL created by PPRB, to the extent the scope of services is consistent with the solicitation used to establish the PVL and the unit prices are consistent with the amount bid by the PVL vendor.
