PRO-106 Prior Approval of Purchases/Unauthorized Purchases

​

SCOPE:

The scope of this policy is related to prior approval requirements for purchasing activities, and unauthorized purchases.

POLICY:

All procurement actions require prior approval of the State Bureau of Procurement. Approval authority may, in some cases, be delegated to state agency offices. When so delegated, approval by the agency office is required prior to any procurement action. See PRO-102, Delegation.

Any state employee who contracts for the purchase of materials or services contrary to a statute or to Bureau policies and procedures may be liable for the cost. If such materials or services are paid for out of public funds, the amount may be recovered in action filed by the Attorney General. Any procurement contract that is contrary to state statutes is void.
