Procurement Information Memoranda (PIMs) are a tool used by the State Bureau of Procurement to communicate important information, legislative mandates and administrative policy changes. They provide interim instruction until formal policies and procedures can be incorporated into the State Procurement Manual or until the directive has been rescinded. PIMs do not constitute purchasing authority and are not to be used in the same way as a statewide contract (e.g., agencies cannot reference PIMs in the contract number field on purchase orders).
