What if few or no vendors are registered under the commodity code and/or service for which my Department is issuing a solicitation?
As noted above, Using Departments should evaluate which procurements are most appropriate for the LSBRP and determine that there are an adequate number of LSBRP registered vendors for the commodity or service they want to contract for. Each Using Department Director has the discretion to determine if an exemption is justified. This information should be documented by the LSBRP contract administrator using the PO/DPO & DV Issued tool on the Intranet Web site.
