Bill > HB1380

This bill transfers the responsibility for reviewing planning and technical requirements for information technology (IT) contracts from the Office of Intergovernmental Services to the Division of Information Systems within the state government. Specifically, the bill amends Arkansas Code § 19-11-269 to replace "Office of Intergovernmental Services" with "Division of Information Systems" in the review process for IT contracts and purchases. The review is required for two types of IT-related transactions: (1) contracts for IT products or services with a total projected contract amount of $100,000 or more, including potential amendments or extensions, and (2) purchases of IT products or services made through cooperative purchase agreements. The Office of State Procurement will continue to ensure that all required information is submitted for review before contract execution. This change appears to be an administrative reorganization aimed at streamlining the review process for state IT contract procurement.
