(a) A grantee must submit a PSO-prescribed Procurement Questionnaire when any procurement is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold or upon request. PSO may also request all related procurement documentation, such as requests for proposals, invitations for bids, or independent cost estimates.
(b) Grantees may not divide purchases or contracts to avoid the requirements of this section. For purposes of determining compliance, PSO shall consider groups of contracts with a single vendor or groups of purchases for the same or similar items as a single procurement.
