52:25-23. The Director of the Division of Purchase and Property may, by written order, delegate purchasing authority to the using agencies for purchases or contracts not in excess of $25,000.00; except that:
a. Purchases or contracts shall not be divided to circumvent the dollar limit imposed by this section;
b. Prior to issuing purchase orders pursuant to this section, a using agency shall verify the existence of funds for the purchase or contract and shall verify that the article or service to be purchased or contracted for is not available under any of the contracts issued by the Division of Purchase and Property; and
c. Records of all purchases made or contracts negotiated under this section shall be maintained by the using agency and made available for audit by or under the direction of the Director of the Division of Purchase and Property and shall include proper proof that the purchase or contract was made or negotiated competitively, where competition is practicable.
The Director of the Division of Purchase and Property may, by written order, rescind or reduce the level of purchasing authority delegated to any using agency determined by the director to have violated the provisions of the delegated authorization.
d. The director may, by written order, delegate purchasing authority to a specific agency for advertisement of purchases or contracts not in excess of $250,000, subject to the requirements set forth in this section, when the director has determined that such purchases or contracts are for the procurement of goods or services which are unique to the operations of that particular using agency and are not common or similar to goods or services used by other State agencies and, therefore, are not suitable for leveraging with other State agency procurements.
