Additionally, the chief purchasing agent officer may delegate to the purchasing agent the authority to waive that fee for an individual solicitation and to include unregistered bidders in the solicitation in the interest of expanding competition. Nothing herein shall prevent any interested party from submitting a bid in response to any solicitation of which they become aware.
