What does CUPCCA do in procurement policy?

• A. Establish higher bid limits
• B. Require sealed bids on all purchases
• C. Prohibit informal bidding
• D. Mandate annual audits of purchases

Answer: (A)

CUPCCA sets higher bid thresholds for public construction, allowing agencies to use informal bidding procedures for projects that fall under those limits. This means districts can streamline procurement for smaller public works by not requiring the full sealed-bid process every time, while still following CUPCCA rules and keeping appropriate records. It doesn’t require sealed bids on all purchases, nor does it prohibit informal bidding or mandate annual audits as a central feature.
