2021 Colorado Code|Title 24 - Government - State|Article 102 - Procurement Organization|Part 2 - Purchasing|§ 24-102-207. Statewide Procurement Card Agreement - Definition

  The department shall establish a statewide procurement card program. All governmental bodies that utilize a procurement card shall participate in the statewide program. For purposes of this section, "governmental body" has the same meaning as set forth in section 24-101-301 (18); except that, for purposes of this section, "governmental body" also includes elected officials.    Governmental bodies that are not subject to the "Procurement Code", articles 101 to 112 of this title 24, or the fiscal rules are subject to this section; except that, on and after December 1, 2010, this section does not apply to an institution of higher education that has elected to be excluded from the meaning of "governmental body" pursuant to section 24-101-301 (18).    The statewide procurement card shall be considered an alternate method of payment and shall not be considered a commitment voucher required by section 24-30-202 (1). Any revenues resulting from the procurement card program shall be deposited as cash revenue in the general fund and shall be subject to annual appropriation by the general assembly. Unless otherwise directed by the general assembly, the state controller shall make adjustments equivalent to such revenues in the form of a reduction of administrative costs allocated to governmental bodies on a basis proportional to each governmental body's contribution to statewide procurement card expenditures, as determined by the state controller, to ensure that the federal government receives its share of procurement card revenues as required by federal regulations and to ensure that the indirect obligations are funded. Institutions of higher education that elect to be excluded from the meaning of "governmental body" pursuant to section 24-101-301 (18) shall transfer money to the department of higher education or the Colorado commission on higher education to the extent required to pay indirect cost assessments, as defined in section 24-75-112 (1)(f). For purposes of this subsection (3) the term "allocated" does not mean an appropriation or cash transfer to any governmental body, but refers to an internal process within the office of the state controller.

  A procurement official may conduct market research prior to selecting a method of source selection pursuant to this part 2. The executive director may promulgate rules in accordance with the "State Administrative Procedure Act", article 4 of this title 24, to further define methods of conducting market research.    A request for information may be used as a method to obtain preliminary information about a market or type of available service or product when there is not enough information readily available to write an adequate specification or statement of work. A request for information may ask for input from potential vendors to assist the state in preparing a specification or statement of work for a subsequent solicitation and may ask for pricing information only with the provision that such information would be submitted voluntarily. The request for information must clearly state that no award will result from the request.    When market research has been conducted, the governmental body is not obligated to commit to a method of source selection and may determine that it will not pursue a procurement.    All responses to requests for information are confidential until after an award based on a subsequent solicitation has been made or until the procurement official determines that the state will not pursue a solicitation based on the request for information. After such time, the responses to a request for information shall be open to public inspection in accordance with the provisions of the "Colorado Open Records Act", part 2 of article 72 of this title 24.

  A contract may be entered into by requests for proposals. Requests for proposals may be used for the procurement of professional services. The executive director may provide by rule that it is neither practicable nor advantageous to the state to procure specified types of supplies, services, or construction by an invitation for bids.    Proposals shall be solicited through a request for proposals.    Adequate public notice of the request for proposals shall be given in the same manner as provided in section 24-103-202    Repealed.    The request for proposals shall state evaluation factors.    As provided in the request for proposals and pursuant to rules, discussions may be conducted with responsible offerors who submit proposals determined to be reasonably susceptible of being selected for an award for the purpose of clarification to assure full understanding of, and responsiveness to, the solicitation requirements. Offerors shall be accorded fair and equal treatment with respect to any opportunity for discussion and revision of proposals, and such revisions may be permitted after submissions and prior to award for the purpose of obtaining best and final offers. In conducting discussions, there shall be no disclosure of any information derived from proposals submitted by competing offerors.    The award shall be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal is determined in writing to be the most advantageous to the state, taking into consideration the price and the evaluation factors set forth in the request for proposals. No other factors or criteria shall be used in the evaluation. The contract file shall contain the basis on which the award is made. No property interest of any nature shall accrue until the contract is awarded and signed by both parties.    The procurement official, or his or her designee, shall negotiate, in the case of procurement of professional services, with the highest qualified offerors and in that negotiation shall take into account, in the following order of importance, the professional competence of the offerors, the technical merits of the offers, and the price for which the services are to be rendered.
