6. a. Notwithstanding the provisions of any law to the contrary, any purchase by the State or by a State agency or local government unit of equipment, goods or services related to homeland security and domestic preparedness, that is paid for or reimbursed by federal funds awarded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or other federal agency, may be made through the receipt of public bids or as an alternative to public bidding and subject to the provisions of this section, through direct purchase without advertising for bids or rejecting bids already received but not awarded.
b. The equipment, goods or services purchased by a local government unit shall be referred to in the grant agreement issued by the State administrative agency administering such funds and shall be authorized by resolution of the governing body of the local government unit entering into the grant agreement. Such resolution may, without subsequent action of the local governing body, authorize the contracting agent of the local government unit to procure the equipment, goods or services. A copy of such resolution shall be filed with the chief financial officer of the local government unit, the State administrative agency and the Division of Local Government Services in the Department of Community Affairs.
c. Purchases made without public bidding shall be from vendors that shall either (1) be holders of a current State contract for the equipment, goods or services sought, or (2) be participating in a federal procurement program established by a federal department or agency, or (3) have been approved by the State Treasurer in consultation with the New Jersey Domestic Security Preparedness Task Force. All homeland security purchases herein shall continue to be subject to all grant requirements and conditions approved by the State administrative agency.
d. The Director of the Division of Purchase and Property may enter into or participate in purchasing agreements with one or more other states, or political subdivisions or compact agencies thereof, for the purchase of such equipment, goods or services to meet the domestic preparedness and homeland security needs of this State. Such purchasing agreement may provide for the sharing of costs and the methods of payments relating to such purchases.
