| (a) Each state agency shall post its own notices or
solicitations on the ESBD.
(b) Each state agency that issues a solicitation estimated
to exceed $25,000 shall post on the ESBD and issue to all bidders
in the relevant categories and regions that were listed on the Centralized
Master Bidders List at the time of the solicitation:
(1) either the entire solicitation or a notice that
includes all information necessary to make a responsive response,
including the following minimum information required for each procurement
as outlined in Government Code, §2155.083(g) and §2155.075:
(A) a brief description of the goods or services to
be procured and any applicable NIGP class and item code for the goods
and services;
(B) the last date and time on which responses will
be accepted;
(C) the estimated quantity of goods or services to
be procured;
(D) the estimated date on which the goods or services
to be procured will be needed; and
(E) the name, business mailing address, e-mail address,
and business telephone number of the state agency employee a person
may contact to inquire about all necessary information related to
making a response; or
(2) a notice when the state agency has either awarded
or decided to not award a contract resulting from the solicitation;
and
(3) notice of each addendum to the solicitation.
(c) At least two months before a state agency issues
a solicitation estimated to exceed $20 million in value, it shall
post a notice of intent to procure the goods and services to be solicited
on the ESBD, including applicable NIGP class and item codes. The notice
must appear on the ESBD for at least two months. This subsection does
not apply to a solicitation issued by the comptroller under Government
Code, §2155.061.
(d) Posting notices or information on the ESBD does
not fulfill a requirement to distribute the posted material to vendors
on the CMBL. A state agency that is required to distribute notices
or information to vendors on the CMBL must do so by mail or email
even if it posts the same notices or information on the ESBD.
