Guam § 5213 - Small Purchases.

§ 5213. Small Purchases.

Any procurement not exceeding Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) for supplies or services, and

not exceeding One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) for construction, may be made in accordance

with small purchase regulations promulgated by the Policy Office, which shall include the requirements, in

a Request for Quotes (RFQ) small purchase solicitation, to solicit and obtain, to the maximum extent

practicable, no less than three (3) positive written quotations from qualified sources that shall be part of the

procurement record. A “no quote” response will not be considered a positive quotation but shall be part of

the procurement record, which shall further include a written record or memorandum of all solicitations

and responses thereto, negative or positive, orally or in writing. In the event the agency obtains less than

three (3) positive quotations and provides the attestation required by this Section, the agency may proceed

with the small purchase procurement. The purchasing agency shall include in the procurement record of a

small purchase solicitation made by RFQ, regardless of whether it was concluded, an attestation containing

the following:

(a) a record of those particular businesses that were contacted, and those who, contacted or not,

submitted a “no quote,” or did not respond to the solicitation, as well as those that submitted positive

written quotations;

(b) a statement documenting the solicitation efforts to obtain quotations from qualified sources

other than those which responded; and

(c) GSA’s list of all qualified vendors for the item(s) or service(s) being procured.

Small purchase requirements shall not be artificially divided so as to constitute a small purchase under

this Section. The Chief Procurement Officer, the Director of the Department of Public Works, the head of

an agency, or designee at or above the level of the Procurement Officer utilizing this Section for

procurement, shall submit a quarterly report of all small purchases to the Speaker of I Liheslaturan Guåhan.
