SCOPE:
The purpose of this policy is to establish the standards and key considerations for the development of procurement specifications.
POLICY:
Specifications presented to potential suppliers define both the product or performance requirements of the contract, and the time in which performance is to take place.
Specifications presented in a solicitation shall be the specifications appearing in any resulting contract. See Section IV herein. Approvals to conduct the solicitation, granted based on an original set of specifications, may be voided if the specifications in the final contract vary materially from the original. See PRO-201, Procurement Plans.
Standard specifications are established only by the State Bureau of Procurement. Only the Bureau may solicit and establish contracts for standard goods and services. Agencies will use contracts for standard goods and services in accordance with PRO-402, Statewide Contracts: Standards and Utilization.
Non-standard specifications can be established by the Bureau or any agency in accordance with their delegation. See PRO-102, Delegation.
