False. The standard for “small purchases” is that the procurement is for services, supplies, or property does not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate. Therefore, for example, it is not allowable to break up arbitrarily a $150,000 procurement of weatherization materials into three $50,000 purchases just to be able to use the less complicated “small purchase” procedures. The purchase of such materials should be handled through a sealed bid method of procurement, with the larger purchase volume entailed in this approach likely to result in lower per unit prices.
