R19-3-506. Source Selection Method: Determination Factors

A. The procurement officer shall determine the applicable source selection method for a procurement, estimating the aggregate dollar amount of the contract and ensuring that the procurement is not artificially divided, fragmented, or combined to circumvent A.R.S. §§ 5-559 and 41-2501(G). B. If the procurement officer believes that an existing Arizona state contract is sufficient to satisfy the Lottery’s requirements, the procurement officer may procure those materials and services covered by such contracts. C. The procurement officer shall not award a contract or incur an obligation on behalf of the Lottery unless sufficient funds are available for the procurement, consistent with A.R.S. § 35- 154. If it is reasonable to believe that sufficient funds will become available for a procurement, the procurement officer may issue a notice with the solicitation indicating that funds are not currently available and that any contract awarded will be conditioned upon the availability of funds.
