Sec. 31.069. INDEFINITE QUANTITY CONTRACTS FOR SERVICES | ||
AFTER DECLARED NATURAL DISASTER. (a) Not later than May 1 of each | ||
year, the land office shall enter into indefinite quantity | ||
contracts with vendors to provide information management services, | ||

(2) the occurrence of a natural disaster not later | ||
than 12 months after the effective date of the contract; and | ||
(3) delivery of the services to an area of this state | ||
declared by the governor or president of the United States under law | ||
to be a disaster area as a result of the natural disaster. | ||
(c) If the land office determines that federal funds may be | ||
used for a contract under Subsection (a), the land office shall | ||
ensure that the contract complies with the requirements of the | ||
Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 C.F.R. Chapter 1), or a | ||
successor regulation. | ||
(d) In awarding a contract under this section, the land | ||
office shall consider and apply any applicable state law and rules | ||
