JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Manual set out procedures.

- Legislature did not have to include an express exhaustion requirement in the Georgia's State Purchasing Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-5-50 et seq., because the Georgia Vendor Manual, promulgated pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 50-5-54, itself set forth the regulations, including mandatory protest procedures, that were necessary for carrying out the Act's purposes. Diverse Power, Inc. v. Jackson, 285 Ga. 340, 676 S.E.2d 204 (2009).

Timely bid protest.

- There was nothing about the ten-day protest window of Dep't Admin. Serv. Ga. Vendor Manual § 3.8(2) that prevented a utility from filing a timely bid protest as the utility had not been required to obtain more information regarding any alleged wrongdoing by the awarding agency before filing an initial protest to the award of the contract to the utility's rival. Diverse Power, Inc. v. Jackson, 285 Ga. 340, 676 S.E.2d 204 (2009).

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Petroleum credit card purchases authorized.

- Commissioner may legally approve and instigate a program of petroleum credit card purchases by state employees for state-owned automotive vehicles and promulgate reasonable rules and regulations for administering such a system of purchases, providing such purchases are emergency purchases. 1967 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 67-219.
