Currently, all State purchases in excess of $10,000 are based on competitive bids. On purchases where the estimated expenditure will be $100,000 or more, the Commissioner of Administration advertises for and solicits bids, then selects the lowest and best bid pursuant to procedures outlined in Chapter 34, RSMo.
This bill allows any State department to conduct its own purchasing according to the procedures and requirements of Chapter 34. The Commissioner of Administration will cooperate with and assist any State department requesting to conduct its own purchasing.
