competition. Written selection procedures shall provide, at a minimum, the following procedural

procurement. The specific features of the named brand which must be met shall be clearly stated.

used in evaluating bids or proposals, such as a deadline for completion of the Project.

record of past performance, and financial and technical resources.
d. Contract awards shall not normally be made to a contractor or professional who has
developed or has drafted bid specifications, requirements, a statement of work, an invitation for bids,
and/or a request for proposals for a particular procurement. If formal advertising does not result in
any acceptable bids, Grantee or subgrantee may negotiate with any available contractor, including the
contractor who produced the bid requirements.
Procurement shall be made by one of the following methods: (1) small purchase procedures;
(2) competitive sealed bids (formal advertising); (3) competitive negotiation; (4) noncompetitive
negotiation. Evidence of competitive negotiation for professional services and/or formal advertising
