HOW WILL EMERGENCY PROCUREMENTS BE HANDLED?
Emergency procurements of materials, services, and construction over $5,000 require pre-approval by DGS. If the nature or time of the emergency would not permit prior contact with DGS or proper DGS officials are not available, the Agency may proceed with the procurement but must contact DGS as soon as practicable. Whenever practical, at least two bid shall be solicited for emergency purchases of supplies. All emergency procurements should be preceded by a review of the Contractor Responsibility System, where practical. A written determination of the basis for the emergency and for the selection of the particular contractor shall be sent to DGS and included in the contract file. A form for the Agency to use in preparation of the written determination is provided on the DGS Website.
