Summary

Procurement - source selection - disparity study. To ascertain whether disparities exist between the participation of historically underutilized businesses and other businesses in the state procurement system, the department of personnel is required to contract for a disparity study of the Colorado procurement process and to make recommendations to address any discrepancies identified by the study. The final report including the findings and recommendations from the study must be provided to the members of the general assembly and the executive director of the department of personnel (executive director) no later than December 1, 2020. The executive director is required to transmit a copy of the final report to the minority business office, which shall post the report on its official website. In addition, the executive director is required to include the findings and recommendations from the study in its report to the applicable house and senate committees of reference during its hearing pursuant to the "State Measurement for Accountable, Responsive, and Transparent (SMART) Government Act". Any entity that is subject to the disparity study is required to respond to a request for information in connection with the study as soon as possible after receiving the request. $650,000 is appropriated from the general fund to the department of personnel for use by the division of accounts and control. Any unexpended and unencumbered money from the appropriation remains available for expenditure by the department of personnel for the purposes of the disparity study in the next fiscal year without further appropriation.

Plain-language change summary

The amendment adds a requirement for the Department of Underutilized Businesses to engage in the determination of whether disparities exist within the state procurement process. Additionally, it clarifies that the General Assembly may annually appropriate funds to the Department of Personnel for related purposes, and any unspent funds can carry over to the next fiscal year without additional appropriation. This change matters because it aims to enhance the state's ability to assess and address potential disparities in procurement, while also ensuring that resources can be effectively utilized across fiscal years.
