PROCUREMENT BY POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS – Amends existing law to revise certain monetary thresholds for certain types of procurement by political subdivisions.

Idaho's S 1118 revises procurement thresholds for local governments (cities, counties, school districts) to reduce bureaucratic requirements for smaller purchases. It raises the dollar limits where competitive bidding is not required: public works construction under $100,000 (up from $50,000) and services/personal property under $100,000 (up from $75,000). For larger projects, it increases the threshold requiring full competitive bidding from $200,000 to $250,000 for construction. These changes streamline procurement processes for political subdivisions by allowing more purchases to bypass formal bidding procedures. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025.
