Section 1120.4535  Sheltered Workshops for the Disabled

a)         Use of Sheltered Workshop

The CPO shall refer to information prepared by DCMS concerning qualified sheltered workshops and categories of goods and services set aside to those sheltered workshops by DCMS.  To the extent practicable, the IOC will observe such set asides.

b)         Pricing Approval

While notice and competition is not required prior to contracting with a sheltered workshop, prices must be reasonable.  Whether a price is reasonable will be determined based upon current market prices, historical prices, prices received by other State agencies for similar goods or services, the policy of the Code to promote procurements from sheltered workshops, and other such relevant factors.
