SECTION 340:2-13-85. Contact with suppliers

Latest version.

Contact by an Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS) employee with potential suppliers is not prohibited. However, it is strongly discouraged because any supplier that provides information used in a solicitation or receives information from OKDHS about a future solicitation creates the appearance of impropriety. These suppliers could be precluded from future contract awards. The appearance of bias is created by such meetings regardless of intent.
