Hawaii SB3119 adjusts procurement rules for local edible produce and packaged food products for the Department of Education.

Hawaii SB3119 modifies procurement regulations to exempt purchases of local edible produce and packaged food products under $250,000 from electronic procurement system requirements. Instead, these purchases must receive at least three written quotes. This change aims to support the Department of Education's mandate to source at least 30% of foods locally by 2030. The exemption is temporary, effective until June 30, 2028.
