§ 9605 Procurement requirements for the State.
(a) If any agency of this State intends to procure a product or service on the procurement list, that agency shall, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission, procure such product or service, at the price established by the Commission, from the Delaware Industries for the Blind and from qualified rehabilitation facilities. If the product or service is available within the period required by that agency, such procurement shall be mandatory. This chapter, however, shall not apply in any case where products or services are available for procurement from any agency of this State and procurement therefrom is required under any statute, rule or regulation.
(b) In the procurement of any product or service under this chapter preference shall be given by an agency of this State to a product or service of the Delaware Industries for the Blind. Waiver of such preference shall be provided in writing by the Director of the Division for the Visually Impaired to the Chairperson of the Commission for the Purchase of Products or Services of the Blind and Other Severely Handicapped Individuals.
(c) In furthering the purposes of this chapter, as set forth in § 9601 of this title, and in contributing to economy of government, it is the intent of the General Assembly that there be close cooperation between the Commission and any agency of the State from which procurement of products or services is required under any state law. The Commission and any such agency are authorized to enter into such contractual agreements, cooperative working relationships or other arrangements as may be determined to be necessary for effective coordination and efficient realization of the objectives of this chapter and any other law requiring procurement of products or services from any agency of this State.
