Guam § 5010 - Policy in Favor of Planned Procurement.
Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 5010 — Policy in Favor of Planned Procurement., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 5010. Policy in Favor of Planned Procurement.
All procurements of supplies and services shall, where possible, be made sufficiently in advance of
need for delivery or performance to promote maximum competition and good management of resources.
Publication of bids and requests for proposals shall not be manipulated so as to place potential bidders at
unnecessary competitive disadvantage. Except in emergency situations, lower price bids are generally
preferable to shorten delivery or performance bids. Delivery time may be considered as a factor in making
an award to a responsive bidder only if his average delivery time bid is at least ten percent (10%) shorter
than the average delivery time of a lower price responsive bidder and if the price offered by the bidder
offering the faster delivery or performance does not exceed one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower
price bidder.
