  • YEAR CREATED: 1981
  • ENTITY TYPE: Authority: Other
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: POL - Policies/Procedures
This document is a resolution titled "Resolution 1013" adopted by the Board of Directors of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing. The resolution emphasizes the importance of promoting maximum competition in bid solicitations for Federal, State, and Local Government business. It states that competitive bidding is the preferred and most effective means of obtaining products and services at favorable prices, as it discourages favoritism and personal or brand preferences. The resolution reaffirms the support of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing for the use of competitive bid solicitations and competitive awards, where a single award is given to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. However, it also acknowledges that in certain cases, when a single competitive award cannot be made, the practice of establishing "multiple award" contracts for similar commodities may be utilized. The resolution was initially adopted on October 7, 1981, and reviewed and ratified on November 11, 1995, by the Board of Directors.
