HB 1927 Procurement of information technology; reverse auctioning.
Introduced by: Samuel A. Nixon, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Procurement of information technology; reverse auctioning. Amends provisions related to information technology procurement. The bill removes the requirement that the Department of Information Technology (DIT) follow the Administrative Process Act (APA) when promulgating and adopting regulations governing the procurement of telecommunications and information technology and restores the exemption from the APA for "the award or denial of state contracts, as well as decisions regarding compliance therewith" (See § 2.2-4002(B)(2)). The bill amends § 2.2-1119, governing cases in which purchasing through the Division of Purchases and Supply is not mandatory, § 2.2-4304, governing cooperative procurement agreements, and § 53.1-52, governing purchases by state correctional facilities, to reflect the requirement in § 2.2-1303 that purchases of telecommunications and information technology be made through DIT. This bill does not affect any current delegation of authority either by DIT or to institutions of higher education through the 2002-2004 Appropriations Act (this second provision reiterates the second enactment of House Bill 519 from the 2002 Session). The bill also repeals the sunset of July 1, 2003, for reverse auctioning, making it a permanent method of procurement. The original version of this bill is a recommendation of the Joint Commission on Technology and Science.
