Request to Execute Non-Competitively Bid

The Non-Competitively Bid (NCB) Program provides a formal process for state departments to request approval to enter into a contract without using a competitive bidding process. This is typically used when there is a valid business need to work with a specific vendor, such as when goods or services are only available from one source.

The NCB Unit reviews each request to ensure it meets State Contracting Manual requirements, is properly justified, and demonstrates that the pricing is fair and reasonable. The program helps departments move forward with necessary procurements while maintaining compliance, accountability, and transparency in the use of public funds.
