Notes of Decisions
Approval of the Secretary
The signatures of the Secretary of the Budget and the Comptroller of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (LCB) were not required for the formation of a valid and enforceable contract between the warehouser/distributor of alcoholic beverages and the LCB even though the Secretary must give final review and approval to all contracts for the purchase of services, where the Contracting for Services Manual, which was written in compliance with this regulation, also provides for sole source procurement and, in this case, the agency head provided justification for use of the sole source procurement process in writing to both the Secretary of the Budget and the Comptroller.
