Bill > HB4327

This bill requires vendors providing services to state agencies to report any subcontracting, which means using a third party to perform work under their contract, to both the agency they are contracted with and the Central Purchasing Division of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services, detailing the subcontractor's tasks and the percentage of the contract they are fulfilling within ten days of the subcontractor's work completion. Furthermore, the Central Purchasing Division will maintain a public database of all active private vendor contracts with state agencies, including vendor names, total expected costs, purchase order numbers, and descriptions of what the contract is for, with an exemption for information protected by the Oklahoma Open Records Act, which shields certain sensitive information from public disclosure. State agencies using statewide contracts must also provide detailed documentation to the Central Purchasing Division, including statements of work, hourly rates with a maximum cap, line-item expenses, and performance guarantees. Additionally, state agencies are mandated to conduct post-assessments of fulfilled contract services within thirty days of milestones or contract end dates, evaluating whether services were completed on time and within budget, and must report any incomplete contracts, along with their estimated completion times, in their annual budget submissions.
