313: Special Procurements

A situation may arise which makes compliance with Sections 104.1 through 104.4 impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public, but for which a sole source or emergency procurement is inappropriate.

In such cases, the Chief Procurement Officer or his or her designee may make or authorize others to make procurements with limited or no competition, as the officer deems appropriate based on the circumstances. The Chief Procurement Officer or designee shall make a written determination of the basis for his or her decision, and the selection of the contractor. The determination will be retained in the contract file.

The Chief Procurement Officer may authorize the purchase of certain specified classes of services, equipment or goods as special procurements under this Section. He or she may do so only through a written determination that sets forth the reason for the designation of the class of service, equipment or good as a special procurement, along with appropriate requirements applicable to the procurement, such as dollar/expenditure limits or limited competition procedures.
