10332.  Any state agency that receives delegated authority to
acquire goods shall be authorized, at a minimum, to make the
following types of acquisitions:
   (a) Acquisitions not exceeding the dollar value established
pursuant to Section 10330.
   (b) Acquisitions in any amount of goods available under an
unexpired statewide or regional contract. Acquisitions of goods for
which a valid statewide or regional contract is in effect may not be
made, without the approval of the office, from a supplier other than
the supplier with whom the state has a valid contract.
   (c) Acquisitions in any amount of goods that state agencies are
required, by Section 2807 of the Penal Code, to acquire from the
Prison Industry Authority.
   (d) Acquisitions not exceeding the dollar amount, established
pursuant to Section 10330, of goods designated in price schedules
that the office has established with suppliers. Acquisitions not
exceeding the dollar amount, established pursuant to Section 10330,
of goods designated in price schedules may be made from a supplier
other than the supplier specified on a price schedule if another
supplier offers the same or equivalent goods at a price lower than
the price established in the price schedule. The agency shall notify
the office prior to making the acquisition. The acquisition may be
made 48 hours after receipt of the notice by the office unless the
office advises the agency that the goods to be acquired are not the
same or equivalent to the goods specified on a price schedule.
   (e) Acquisitions not exceeding the dollar value, established
pursuant to Section 10330, of goods that are available from the state
warehouses but which the state agency can acquire from another
supplier at a price lower than the price charged by the department.
The agency shall notify the office prior to making the acquisition.
The acquisition may be made 48 hours after receipt of the notice by
the office unless the office advises the agency that the goods to be
acquired are not the same or equivalent to the goods available from
the state warehouses.
