(a) For each contract for the purchase of goods or
services from a private vendor, each state agency shall post on its
Internet website:
(1) each contract the agency enters into, including
contracts entered into without inviting, advertising for, or otherwise
requiring competitive bidding before selection of the contractor,
until the contract expires or is completed;
(2) the statutory or other authority under which a
contract that is not competitively bid under paragraph (1) of this
subsection is entered into without compliance with competitive bidding
procedures; and
(3) the request for proposals related to a competitively
bid contract included under paragraph (1) of this subsection until
the contract expires or is completed.
(b) A state agency may post contracts described by
subsection (a) of this section that are valued at less than $15,000
once a month.
(c) Each state agency by rule shall establish a procedure
to identify each contract that requires enhanced contract or performance
monitoring and submit information on the contract to the agency's
governing body or, if the agency is not governed by a multimember
governing body, the officer who governs the agency. The agency's contract
management office or procurement director shall immediately notify
the agency's governing body or governing official, as appropriate,
of any serious issue or risk that is identified with respect to a
contract monitored under this subsection.
(d) This section does not apply to a memorandum of
understanding, interagency contract, interlocal agreement, or contract
for which there is not a cost.
