Delegation of purchasing authority

The director or director's designee may delegate purchasing authority, in writing, to the head of a state agency or institution. The head of the state agency or institution may delegate that person's authority to specific individuals. The delegation will specify dollar limits for making required determinations, approving limited and noncompetitive procurements, conducting procurements, and amending contracts. The delegation may specifically include or exclude certain commodities or services. The authority remains in effect for the time specified in the written delegation unless revoked in writing by the director, director's designee, or the head of the state agency or institution.
