Legal Access Information

     "All state agencies SHALL PURCHASE and all local public bodies may purchase items of tangible personal property and services offered pursuant to the provisions of the Corrections Industries Act.  The Corrections Industries Commission shall prepare a catalogue containing an accurate and complete description of all items of tangible personal property and services.  A copy of the catalogue shall be provided to each state agency and local public body.  The catalogue shall contain an approximate time required for delivery of each item of tangible personal property and service."

 The section of the statute further provides that:

    "The State Purchasing Agent or central purchasing office SHALL PURCHASE available items of tangible personal property and services from the catalogue unless a determination is made that:

1. An emergency exists requiring immediate action to procure the items of tangible personal property or services;
   
2. The specifications for the items of tangible personal property or service, including quality, quantity, and delivery requirements, cannot be met within a reasonable time frame by the Corrections Department.
   
3. The price to be paid to the Corrections Department for the items of tangible personal property or services is higher than the bid price of comparable items of tangible personal property or services."

Agencies are also reminded of Section 13-1-98(A) NMSA 1978 which state in relevant part that "The provisions of the Procurement Code shall not apply to procurement of items of tangible personal property of services by state agency or local public body from a state agency [or] local public body..."  This provision allows for direct purchase by any state agency from Corrections Industries without the need for initiating a formal procurement process.
