| 9 | | (e) The Chief Procurement Officer identified under item (5) | 10 | | of Section 1-15.15 of the Illinois Procurement Code shall adopt | 11 | | rules to encourage all State agencies to use the least costly | 12 | | level of service or mode of transport (while distinguishing | 13 | | between express or air versus ground delivery) that can achieve | 14 | | on-time delivery for the product being transported and | 15 | | delivered. | 16 | | Section 90.
