Ethics in Specification Development


(1)

OPRD and contractors must not develop specifications that primarily benefit a contractor, directly or indirectly, to the detriment of OPRD or the best interest of the state.

(2)

OPRD must not develop specifications that inhibit or tend to discourage public contracting with qualified rehabilitation facilities (QRF) under ORS 279.835 (Definitions for ORS 279.835 to 279.855) through 279.855 (Entities that may obtain goods and services through Oregon Department of Administrative Services) and OAR 125-055-0005 (Definitions) through 125-055-0045 (Purchases under ORS 279.855) where those specifications inhibit or tend to discourage the acquisition of QRF-produced goods or services without reasonably promoting the satisfaction of bona fide, practical procurement needs of OPRD.
