The specifications as prepared by the Interagency Purchasing Cooperative designated agency and made available to the participating entity under this agreement are accepted for purchase at the lowest responsible bid price recommended by the Interagency Purchasing Cooperative (IPC); however, each entity has the right to reject all or part of the designated agency recommendation for the local bid award.
