The purchase of materials or equipment for penal or correctional institutions under the department is exempted from the requirements of centralized purchasing and bidding by the department of administrative services if the materials or equipment are needed to make an emergency repair at an institution or the security of the institution would be jeopardized because the materials or equipment could not be purchased soon enough through centralized purchasing and bidding and, in either case, if the director approves the emergency purchase.
