My City was provided some information on a service called BuyBoard that provides competitive prices on almost everything. I am curious to know if they can be used as some sort of purchasing agent to comply with competitive bidding laws and if there is statutory authority for using them or maybe an attorney general opinion Thanks for you consideration and input.
