HB 2165 updates the procedures for how Oklahoma county governments acquire supplies, materials, and services. It outlines a process for county departments to requisition items and for county purchasing agents to solicit bids from vendors. The bill requires the board of county commissioners to open bids in a public meeting, compare them to state contract prices, and select the "lowest and best" bid, documenting reasons if the lowest bid is not chosen. It also allows for the transfer of supplies between county departments and details how to manage vendor lists.
