Purpose.

Under RCW 41.06.142, agencies may competitively contract for services that state employees have customarily and historically provided. The law directs the department of general administration to adopt rules to ensure that the submittal and evaluation of bids are fair and objective, and that there exists a competitive market for the service. The department of general administration's objective in writing these rules is to provide clear, simple, fair, and consistent guidance in complying with the law.
