Answer

No, the fire department may not purchase fire trucks off the HGAC purchase list without complying with the Public Bid Law unless: •The Louisiana Office of State Procurement has adopted the HGAC Cooperative List as a State Contract, or •The Cooperative is on the Federal General Services List and the purchase price is less than the cost of the fire truck on State contract. The Fire Department should contact the Office of State Procurement. Louisiana Legislative Auditor website: 05/16/2025 01:15:49 AM
