Section 80IAC8-3-11. Solicitation for procurement; separate contracts; fixed unit prices

   (a) A solicitation for a procurement under this rule may provide that offers will be received and contracts will be awarded in whole or in part or for any combination of a line or class of services or supplies contained in the solicitation. If the solicitation is silent about awarding the solicitation in whole or in part, the commission may award separate contracts under this section to different offerors only if the executive director makes a determination showing that the award of separate contracts is in the interest of efficiency or economy.

  (b) A solicitation for a procurement under this rule may provide that the contracts department will award a contract for the procurement of supplies for an unspecified number of items at a fixed price per unit. Such a contract may include a formula or a method for escalation of the unit price. (State Fair Commission; 80 IAC 8-3-11; filed Nov 7, 2016, 3:46 p.m.: 20161207-IR-080160210FRA)
