§ 54205 Local Agency Purchasing Requests

• •Local agencies (like city or county offices) can ask the state to buy stuff for them.
• •The state follows special rules when buying things, like getting the best price.
• •This helps small local offices get supplies without doing all the buying work themselves.

A small town needs new computers for its schools but doesn’t have a big buying team.

The town can ask the state to buy the computers for them, and the state will make sure they get a good deal.
