Bill Summary

Exempts Department of Education purchases of local edible produce and packaged food products less than $250,000 from the electronic procurement system requirement. Requires at least three written quotes for Department of Education purchases of local edible produce and packaged food products of less than $250,000. Sunsets 6/30/2028. (CD1)

AI Summary

This bill addresses the procurement challenges of the Hawaii Department of Education (DOE) by creating a temporary exemption for purchasing local food products. Currently, the DOE is the only state department limited to small purchases under $25,000 and is mandated to source 30% of its food locally by 2030. The bill allows the DOE to procure local edible produce and packaged food products up to $250,000 without using the standard electronic procurement system, instead requiring at least three written quotes for such purchases. If the DOE cannot obtain the required number of quotes, they must provide written justification for their procurement method. This exemption is designed to help the department more effectively purchase local food products for Hawaii's public schools and will be in effect from July 1, 2025, until June 30, 2028, serving as a trial period to assess the impact of this procurement flexibility.
