Sec. 16. (a) A purchasing agent may acquire supplies if the purchasing agent determines that the governmental body can obtain the transfer of the supplies from the federal government under IC 4-13-1.7 at a cost less than would be obtained from purchase of the supplies by soliciting for bids or proposals.
(b) A governmental body may not make a purchase under this section if title to the property will be transferred to the governmental body before a sufficient appropriation to pay the costs of the purchase is appropriated. However, if the supplies will be transferred to the governmental body upon conditional sale or under a lease, a lease with option to purchase, or a contract for the use of the supplies, the governmental body may make the purchase under this section if there are sufficient funds appropriated to pay the consideration required for one (1) year of the agreement.
(c) A purchasing agent who purchases or leases surplus federal materials shall, at the time of the purchase or lease, or immediately thereafter, give public notice in accordance with IC 5-3-1.
