Relating to the authority of the Parks and Wildlife Department to procure goods and services related to items for resale by the department.

Contracts

• Negotiation Shift: Standard "Invitation for Bid" (IFB) templates will likely be replaced by commercial agreements. Legal teams must prepare for performance-based clauses where contract retention is tied to sales volume/sell-through rates.
• Terms: Expect requests for consignment models or "guaranteed sale" (buy-back) provisions, which are now permissible to maximize state revenue.

Hiring/Training

• Sales Strategy: Sales teams must pivot from monitoring state bid boards to proactive business development. Train staff to pitch margin analysis and consumer demand data rather than lowest unit cost.
• Risk Management: Ensure legal staff understands the intersection of commercial retail terms and state sovereign immunity; the state will not waive indemnification.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• Value Justification: Vendors must generate and maintain data sheets demonstrating sell-through rates in comparable retail environments (e.g., private campgrounds, big-box outdoor retailers).
• Inventory Metrics: You will be required to report on fulfillment speeds and stock reliability more rigorously, as "out of stock" status directly impacts the "Best Value" assessment.

Fees & Costs

• No Statutory Fees: The bill does not impose new filing fees.
• Insurance Costs: Expect stricter enforcement of Product Liability insurance limits ($1M per occurrence minimum) as the vetting process accelerates.
