Section 36-2-10-210.1-1 - ITS Statutory Responsibilities and Charge1.1 ITS is dedicated to providing the best possible service to government customers. ITS strives to balance the following aspects of our role in government: * The need to develop strong partnerships with vendors who provide IT hardware, software, and services to government
* The need to deliver quality IT hardware, software, and services for the lowest possible cost to the State as a whole
* The requirement to manage open and competitive procurement efforts for IT hardware, software, and services.
1.2 ITS employees conduct themselves in a manner to instill public confidence in the integrity of state government employees. It is impossible to anticipate every example of ethics decisions that may be presented to ITS employees. It is the responsibility of the employee to exercise good judgment and to be sensitive to any possible appearance of impropriety when conducting business with customers and vendors. 1.3 ITS employees are encouraged to err on the side of excess diligence regarding any business situation to avoid even the appearance of a violation of the public trust. 36 Miss.
