This permits and encourages a tailored, innovative solution aimed at reducing costs and improving results. This provision also looks to the future through a reporting mechanism that will allow procurement officers to see what works and doesnt work in applying this process for purchasing new services and supplies. That will help build better, faster, and cheaper solutions for tomorrows procurement culture. Integrity, competition, and accountability must remain at the very core of our procurement process. With increased discretion for procurement officers, increased accountability is also expected. Anyone making a false statement or providing false evidence in the alternate source selection process would be guilty of a class A misdemeanor. The changes offered in this bill simplify and streamline state procurement practices and will result in more efficiency and cost savings in the acquisition of services and supplies. I urge your support of this bill.
