I. The director of plant and property management may, upon written application of the governing board of any agency, authorize such governing board, or one or more individuals designated by such board, to purchase supplies for the agency directly from vendors by the use of field purchase orders; provided, however, that no such field purchase order shall be used where a total expenditure of more than $500 is involved. The form and use of such field purchase orders shall be prescribed by rules adopted by the commissioner of administrative services, pursuant to RSA 541-A. The director may also authorize purchases using the integrated financial system for contracted commodities and services, provided that the total expenditure involved does not exceed $5,000. II. Upon the joint recommendation of the commissioner of administrative services and the governing board of any agency, the governor and council, in their discretion, may authorize such governing board, or one or more individuals designated by such governing board to purchase supplies for the agency directly from vendors in such quantities and for such sums as the governor and council shall prescribe; provided, however, that any such authority shall be subject to the limitations of the amounts appropriated and the purposes authorized by the legislature for the agency, and provided further that all such delegations of purchasing authority shall expire on December 31 of the even numbered years. Whenever such purchasing authority is so delegated to any agency, the requirements of RSA 21-I:11, IV and V, and rules adopted pursuant to RSA 21-I:14, X, shall apply to the governing board or its authorized agent exercising such delegated authority.
