12-3-1008. Purchasing by county governments.
When purchasing supplies and equipment, county governments are authorized to utilize pricing discounts obtained by the National Association of Counties Financial Services Center Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NACo Purchasing Alliance). When any general law, charter or private act requires that a county government purchase by competitive bidding, either formal or informal, the county government may consider the price under any contract or price agreement obtained by the NACo Purchasing Alliance in the same manner as a formal bid or informal quotation obtained under such general law, charter or private act.
