45A.100 Small purchases by state governmental bodies.
(1)
Procurements may be made in accordance with small purchase administrative
regulations promulgated by the secretary of the Finance and Administration
Cabinet, pursuant to KRS Chapter 13A, as follows:
(a)  Up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per project for construction and one
thousand dollars ($1,000) for purchases by any state governmental body,
except for those state administrative bodies specified in paragraph (b) of this
subsection; and
(b)  Up to forty thousand dollars ($40,000) per project for construction or
purchases by the Finance and Administration Cabinet, state institutions of
higher education, and the legislative branch of government.
(2)
Procurement requirements shall not be artificially divided so as to constitute a small
purchase under this section. At least every two (2) years, the secretary shall review
the prevailing costs of labor and materials and may make recommendations to the
next regular session of the General Assembly for the revision of the then current
maximum small purchase amount as justified by intervening changes in the cost of
labor and materials.
(3)
The secretary of the Finance and Administration Cabinet may grant to any state
agency with a justifiable need a delegation of small purchasing authority which
exceeds the agency's small purchase limit provided in subsection (1) of this section.
Delegations of small purchasing authority shall be granted or revoked by the
secretary of the Finance and Administration Cabinet, in accordance with
administrative regulations promulgated by the cabinet pursuant to KRS Chapter
13A. These administrative regulations shall establish, at a minimum, the criteria for
granting and revoking delegations of small purchasing authority, including the
requesting agency's past compliance with purchasing regulations, the level of
training of the agency's purchasing staff, and the extent to which the agency utilizes
the Kentucky Automated Purchasing System. The administrative regulations may
permit the secretary of the Finance and Administration Cabinet to delegate small
purchase procurements up to the maximum amount specified in subsection (1)(b) of
this section.
