Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 53.1-48 of the Code of Virginia is

§53.1-48. Exceptions as to purchases.
The A. Except as provided
in subsection B, the Director of the Division of Purchases and
Supply may exempt a department, institution or agency of the Commonwealth from
the provisions of §53.1-47 in any case where, in the opinion of the Director,
the article so produced or manufactured does not meet the reasonable
requirements of such department, institution or agency, or the requisition made
cannot be complied with on account of an insufficient supply of the articles or
supplies required, or otherwise. In any case where the Director of Purchases
and Supply grants an exemption from the provisions of §53.1-47, he shall
submit a written justification for the exemption to the Director of the
Department of Corrections.
B. Any department, institution or agency of the
Commonwealth may use competitive sealed
bidding in accordance with
the Virginia Public Procurement Act (§2.2-4300 et seq.) for
the procurement of furniture without
first seeking an exemption from the provisions
of §53.1-47 from the Director of the Division of Purchases and
Supply.
