Competitive Negotiation

Competitive negotiations can be conducted by the DNR Purchasing office after a failed invitation for bid or request for proposals. Additionally, this selection method may be used with IFBs and RFPs if:

• Agencies/IHEs conducted a Solicitation and a winning Vendor was not identified;

• Low Bids exceed available funds; or

• Not enough Vendors exist to establish “adequate competition.”

Please contact the DNR Purchasing Office for more information.
