Qualified products list

1. If testing or examination of the commodities or services is desirable or necessary to best satisfy state requirements, a qualified products list may be developed with approval of the state procurement office. 2. When developing a qualified products list, a representative group of vendors must be solicited, in writing, to submit products for testing and examination to determine acceptability for inclusion on the qualified products list. 3. Inclusion on a qualified products list must be based on results of tests or examinations conducted in accordance with state requirements and the product specification. 4. The existence of prequalified products on a qualified products list does not constitute prequalification of any prospective vendor.
