-
(a) A state agency that determines that goods or services received under a contract administered by the commission do not meet specifications shall promptly notify the commission in writing of the reasons for the determination. The commission shall immediately make its own determination of whether the goods and services meet specifications.
(b) The commission or a state agency, including an institution of higher education, has the authority to determine that goods and services exempted from the commission's purchasing authority meet or fail to meet specifications.
(c) On determining that contract specifications or conditions have not been met, the commission shall act against the defaulting contractor, with the assistance of the attorney general as necessary.
(d) If the commission receives repeated complaints against a vendor, the commission shall remove the vendor's name and the vendor's goods and services from the commission's bidders list for not longer than one year. If complaints resume after the vendor is reinstated on the bidders list, the commission may bar the vendor from participating in state contracts for a period under Section 2155.077.
