Section 250.5 - Process for conducting state procurements

The process for conducting State procurements for services and commodities shall commence by each State agency being responsible for determining the need for a given service or commodity and shall proceed as follows:

(a) For commodities, upon such determination of need, State agencies shall ascertain whether the commodity is available in the form, function and utility consistent with their needs from preferred sources and if so, shall purchase said commodity from a preferred source in accordance with the provisions of this Part.
(1) If not so available, State agencies shall determine whether the commodity is available in the form, function and utility consistent with their needs on a centralized contract and if so, except as provided in section 250.2(e) of this Part, shall purchase said commodity using the centralized contract.
(2) If a commodity is not available in the form, function and utility consistent with the needs of the State agency from a preferred source or a centralized contract or as provided for in section 250.2(e) of this Part, the State agency may procure the commodity independently or in conjunction with another State agency in accordance with section 250.2(g) of this Part.
(b) For services, upon such determination of need, State agencies shall ascertain whether the service is available in the form, function and utility consistent with their needs from preferred sources and, if so, shall purchase said service through the preferred source in accordance with the provisions of this Part.
(1) If not so available, State agencies may purchase the service if it is available in the form, function and utility consistent with their needs using an established centralized contract procured by either the commissioner or another State agency.

(3) Procure the service independently or in conjunction with another State agency.
