SCOPE:
The purpose of this policy is to establish the function and composition of standards committees for the State Bureau of Procurement, and specification development committees for delegated agencies.
POLICY:
Standards committees may be formed by the Bureau for the following purposes:
- Drafting standard specifications for a statewide contract.
- Establishing standardized policies or procedures affecting a specific commodity or procurement technique.
- Resolving disputes or rectifying unusual situations related to a contract or specific commodity or service category.
- Conducting pilot projects in commodity or service categories not yet covered by an existing standard or statewide contract.
A standards committee is formed in instances where several state agencies are involved, and the aggregate spend or potential savings warrant such action. Standards committees serve in an advisory capacity to the Bureau.
