     § 514.  Small procurements.
        If the procurement is not the subject of a Statewide
     requirements contract between the purchasing agency and a
     contractor, the head of the purchasing agency may authorize in
     writing procurements without formal bid procedures, not
     exceeding the amount established by the purchasing agency. The
     head of the purchasing agency may authorize procurement of the
     supply or service on a no-bid basis for procurements which do
     not exceed the amount established by the head of the purchasing
     agency for small, no-bid procurements. The head of the
     purchasing agency may authorize procurement on a no-bid basis
     for construction projects that do not exceed a total
     construction cost of $10,000. The amount of $10,000 shall be
     adjusted annually by the department to reflect the annual
     percentage change in the Composite Construction Cost Index of
     the United States Department of Commerce occurring in the one-
     year period ending December 31 of each year. Procurement
     requirements shall not be artificially divided so as to
     constitute a small procurement under this section. Small
     procurements shall be made in accordance with the requirements
     of the written authorization and this section. Records of all
     small procurements shall be transmitted to the purchasing
     agency.
