RE:   Procurement status of University Hospital after divestiture
AG Alpha No. AD PU AGARE
AG File No. OLS8906934/ARE
Dear Mr. Ghourdjian,
This opinion letter is written in response to your inquiry about
the authority of University Hospital after divestiture to enter
into cooperative purchasing agreements.
QUESTION PRESENTED AND CONCLUSION
Does the Corporation which operates University Hospital after di-
vestiture qualify as a public procurement unit for purposes of
participating in cooperative purchasing agreements authorized by
the Colorado Procurement Code?
No.
ANALYSIS
Among other things, the State Procurement Code, SS 24-101-101 to
24-112-101, C.R.S. (1988 & 1989 Supp.), authorizes public pro-
curement units to enter into cooperative purchasing agreements.
Section 24-110-201, C.R.S. (1988). Public procurement units
include local public procurement units, S 24-110-103(4), C.R.S.
(1988), which, by definition, include any educational, health,
or other institution, and, to the extent provided by law, any
other entity which expends public funds for the procurement of
supplies, services and construction. Section 24-110-101(3),
C.R.S. (1988).
