Requires State agencies to solicit bids from public and private institutions of higher education for completion of mandated studies.

Summary

The bill obligates every New Jersey state agency that must carry out a study, as required by law enacted after this bill’s effective date, to request competitive bids from both public and private higher‑education institutions. If the lowest responsible bid is deemed unreasonably high or no suitable bids are received, the agency must cancel the request and start a new, unrestricted bidding round. The measure aims to increase competition and potentially lower costs for government‑ordered research.
