What’s in it
AI summary When state or local governments give money to nonprofit organizations to do public work, those nonprofits can use a special process to pick the best service provider. Instead of just looking at the lowest price, these organizations can rank bids based on how well a company performs. This rule applies to many different groups, including cities, counties, and state agencies like the department of transportation.1
