satisfies state Taws requiring that the Iocal government seek competitive bids for purchase of the item.
GSA contracts have been competitively bid to increase and simply the purchasing power of local
government entities across the State of Texas.
A waiver of the goal for MiWBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the City Manager's tJffice
and approved by the M1WBE Office because the purchase of goods ar services is from sources where
subcontracting ar supplier opportunities are negligible.
