Section of Public Contract Law:
MODEL PROCUREMENT CODE

Our Committee broadly focuses on promoting transparency, fairness, and competitiveness in state and local government procurement by encouraging adoption of the "best practices" embodied in the ABA 2000 Model Procurement Code for State and Local Governments (and companion 2002 Model Procurement Regulations).

These principles have been adopted by 17 states and many hundreds of local jurisdictions, and are designed to provide public officials, vendors and contractors, and taxpayers with procurement processes with integrity and value for money.

The 2000 Model Procurement Code addresses the full range of issues arising in the procurement of supplies, services, and construction, including emerging models for long term procurement of so-called "Public Private Partnerships".

To specifically address the procurement and policy issues that arise when design, construction, operations, maintenance, and/or finance are merged into single procurements for public infrastructure, the Sections sponsoring the MPC project approved the 2007 Model Code for Public Infrastructure Procurement (MC PIP), which is a condensation of the 2000 Model Procurement Code.
