Review and Approval by the Office of the Attorney General

The Office of the Attorney General must review and approve as to form all contracts executed by CSUS, and all amendments to such contracts, with the exception of:

1. personal service agreements with a value over any given twelve (12) month period of less than $3,000.00;
2. memoranda of agreement between CSUS and another Connecticut state agency;
3. any contract set forth on a template approved for use without such approval by the Office of the Attorney General; and
4. purchase orders written against master contracts; and
5. purchase orders which do not contain material terms in addition to, or which modify, the terms appearing on the preprinted form (i.e., other than insertion of product identification, quantity, price, shipping, delivery and payment information).

Payment may not be made pursuant to any such contract until such written approval has been obtained.

Note: It is not permissible to split a contract in order to avoid the aforementioned review and approval process.
