Sec. 10A-126. Maximum practicable competition

All specifications shall be drafted so as to assure the maximum practicable competition to fulfill the County's requirements. Specifications shall not be drawn in such a manner as to favor a single prospective bidder or offeror over other prospective bidders or offerors. This requirement shall not be construed to preclude the specification of brand name items with the approval of the Purchasing Agent or designee provided the term "or equal" or an equivalent term is used.
