POLICY STATEMENT

Any State agency, including the CSU, may acquire commodities and services from a public or private nonprofit California corporation operating a community rehabilitation program or workshop serving persons with disabilities (including blindness) without posting a public notice or soliciting competitive bids, provided that the acquisitions are documented to meet specified needs of the Agency (or campus), are obtained at a fair market price, and are made convenient to the Agency (or campus) to obtain. Such acquisitions must be accompanied by a signed certification that the program is qualified under the provisions of Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 19403 and 19404.
