NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Subsection 63G-6-301(1): Administrative rules shall be issued to govern the preparation, maintenance, and content of specifications for supplies, services, construction, and technology required by the state. (2) The administrative rules described in Subsection (1) shall determine the extent to which a nonemployee who has prepared specifications for use by the state may participate in any state procurement using such specifications.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments have been received.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

The Utah Procurement Code was re-codified during the 2011 General Session and significant changes were made in S.B. 153. These changes will require a re-write of this administrative rule with an effective date of 05/2013. Purchasing has reviewed this rule and believes it needs to remain effective until a new rule can be adopted. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
