The Secretary will contract for services when the specialized skills, knowledge or resources are not available within the Secretary of State's office; when the work cannot be done in a reasonable time with the Secretary's own work force; when it will be less expensive to contract for the work; or when an independent and impartial evaluation of a situation by recognized professionals is required. Contracts will be granted only after approval of the Secretary or his/her designee.
