(b) A state agency may not duplicate an infrastructure component of the state electronic Internet portal, unless the department approves the duplication. In this subsection, "infrastructure" does not include the development of applications, and the supporting platform, for electronic government projects.
(c) Before a state agency may contract with a third party for Internet application development that duplicates a state electronic Internet portal function, including a function of a native mobile application, the state agency must notify the department of its intent to bid for such services at the same time that others have the opportunity to bid. The department may exempt a state agency from this section if it determines the agency has fully complied with Section 2054.111.
