CONTRACTS FOR SPECIAL DEPUTIES. (a) Except as provided by Subsection (c), the receiver shall use a competitive bidding process in the selection of any special deputies appointed under Section 443.102 or 443.154. The process must include procedures to promote the participation of historically underutilized businesses that have been certified by the comptroller under Section 2161.061, Government Code. (b) A proposal submitted in connection with a bid solicitation under Subsection (a) must describe the efforts that have been made to include historically underutilized businesses as subcontractors and the plan for using the historically underutilized businesses in the administration of the receivership estate. A special deputy appointed under Section 443.102 or 443.154 shall make a good faith effort to implement the plan and shall report to the receiver the special deputy's efforts to identify and subcontract with historically underutilized businesses. (c) In the event of an emergency, the receiver may appoint a special deputy without soliciting competitive bids. For the purposes of this subsection, an emergency exists if: (1) a court has made a determination described by Section 202(a)(1)(A)(iv)(I), Pub. L. No. 111-203; or (2) the receiver concludes that the competitive bidding process would delay the appointment of a special deputy and that the delay could be hazardous to the insurer's policyholders or creditors or the general public.
