Amends TCA Title 12, Chapter 3.
Tennessee SB0795 allows local governments to purchase goods and services directly from vendors awarded General Services Administration (GSA) schedule contracts at the vendor's current GSA schedule price, without the need for bids or quotations, provided this is permitted by federal law. The bill also expands the definition of "goods" in public purchases to include improvements to real property, such as buildings and fixtures, while excluding real property itself.
