- A. Bidding time is the period of time between the date of distribution of the invitation to bid and the date set for opening of bids. In each case, bidding time will be set to provide bidders a reasonable time to prepare their bids. For bids whose estimated cost exceeds the defined maximum value for small purchases established by executive order of the governor, a minimum of 10 days shall be provided unless the chief procurement officer or his designee deems that a shorter time is necessary for a particular procurement. However, in no case shall the bidding time be less than 10 days, except as provided in R.S. 39:1598 and Chapter 11 of these rules and regulations.
