Prohibited Bids or Contracts
A state agency may not accept a bid for a contract from a person or company that received payment for preparing the documents used by the agency to solicit bids from vendors for that contract. The same rule applies when awarding contracts. For more information regarding bids and contracts, see the Procurement Division (SPD) State of Texas Procurement and Contract Management Guide.
