Procurement Rules
Judicial Branch Procurement Rules
As a separate branch of government, the Colorado Judicial Branch is not governed by the Colorado Procurement Code or State Procurement Rules. Instead, we follow our own Purchasing Fiscal Rules, which outline the policies and procedures for making purchases with public funds.
These rules are designed to:
- Ensure fair and equitable treatment of all vendors;
- Promote effective, competitive purchasing practices;
- Maximize the value of Judicial Branch resources.
The rules apply to purchases made by Colorado’s courts, probation offices, and the State Court Administrator’s Office using public funds, unless specific grant conditions require otherwise. Construction services and certain independent offices are excluded.
Competitive Bidding Opportunities
The Colorado Judicial Branch uses the Rocky Mountain Bidnet Electronic Bidding System to announce competitive purchasing opportunities for goods and services. Vendors must be registered on Bidnet in order to view and respond to these solicitations. For additional information and to register, visit Rocky Mountain Bidnet.
