HB 1243 -- State Purchases

Sponsor:  Cooper (158)

This bill allows the Commissioner of the Office of
Administration to use the reverse auction procurement method to
purchase goods and nonprofessional services if the commissioner
believes the method will result in savings to the state.  The
reverse auction procurement method allows bidders to bid on
specified goods or nonprofessional services through real-time
electronic bidding.  Bidders' prices are revealed, and they have
an opportunity to modify their bid prices during the bidding
period.

The purchase amount requiring competitive bids is changed from
$3,000 to $10,000; and the purchase amount requiring advertising
is changed from $25,000 to $100,000.  The bill lists categories
that do not require a single feasible source determination.

Obsolete provisions of Chapter 34, RSMo, are repealed.
