(2) The department is authorized to broker print management contracts for other state agencies that choose to utilize these services.
(3) Except as provided under subsection (6) of this section, all state agencies with total annual average full-time equivalent staff that exceeds one thousand as determined by the office of financial management shall utilize print management services brokered by the department, as follows:
(a) Any agency with a copier and multifunctional device contract that is set to expire on or before December 31, 2011, may opt to:
(i) Renew the copier and multifunctional device contract; or
(ii) Enter a print management contract;
(b) Any agency with a copier and multifunctional device contract that is set to expire on or after January 1, 2012, shall begin planning for the transition to a print management contract six months prior to the expiration date of the contract.
