D.C. Mun. Regs. r. 19-306
The CCO may use the small purchase procedures set forth in this section to procure goods, services or construction if the total amount to be purchased does not exceed $ 100,000 in value. No procurement shall be divided for the purpose of meeting the dollar limitation of this section.
The CCO may procure goods, services or construction of a value of $ 2,500 or less without obtaining competitive quotations. Action to verify price reasonableness in writing need be taken only if:
In order to promote competition and assure that the purchase is in the best interests of the Authority, the CCO shall solicit quotations from at least three sources for all small purchases of a value of more than $ 2,500. If possible, two of the sources shall be sources that were not included in the previous solicitation for similar items.
For a small purchase of a value of $ 2,500 or more, the CCO may solicit quotations from only two sources, if the CCO determines in writing that it is impractical to solicit from more than two sources. In no event may this section be used to make a procurement based on the solicitation of a quotation from a single source.
For each small purchase of a value of $ 2,500 or more, the CCO shall make an award based upon a written determination that the price to be paid to the successful bidder is fair and reasonable; the determination shall include the name of each business from which a quotation was solicited, the date of the solicitation, and the amount of the quotation.
The CCO shall use a purchase order to make a small purchase, except that a blanket purchase agreement may be used to fill anticipated repetitive needs for goods, services or construction by establishing a charge account with a vendor for the purchase of such goods, services or construction over a stated period of time and in a stated amount, so long as the total amount to be purchased does not exceed $ 100,000.
Each blanket purchase agreement shall require that the prices charged to the Authority shall be as low or lower than those charged to the supplier's most favored customer for comparable quantities, terms and conditions.
