(1) Generally. DOC may award a Contract as a small procurement with limited competitive process for goods or services less than or equal to $150,000 as provided in this rule.

(2) Amendments. DOC may amend a Contract awarded as a small procurement; however, the cumulative amendments to a Contract may not increase the total Contract Price to greater than $150,000, with the exception of renegotiated Contracts under OAR 291-160-0320(1).

(3) Small Procurements by Type.

(a) For goods or services that are equal to or less than $50,000, DOC may directly award a Contract.

(b) For goods or services that are more than $50,000 but less than $150,000, DOC may obtain three informal quotes. If three quotes are not reasonably available, fewer will suffice, but DOC shall make a written record of the effort made to obtain the quotes. If DOC awards a Contract, DOC shall award the Contract to the Offeror whose quote is most Advantageous to DOC.

(c) If the anticipated purchase exceeds $10,000 and a competitive process is used, DOC will post notice on the electronic procurement system approved by the State Chief Procurement Officer.
