Section 2237. Operation of Vending Facility.--(a) No person in control of the maintenance, operation and protection of State property may offer or grant to any other party a contract or concession to operate a vending facility unless all of the following apply:
(1) The bureau is properly notified to negotiate an agreement with a licensee to operate a vending facility.
(2) The bureau and the committee are not willing or able to establish a vending facility on the property.
(b) If, on the effective date of this subarticle, a vending facility is being operated on State property by a person other than a licensee, when the present contract expires, is terminated or comes up for renewal or upon a change of the maintenance, operation and protection of the property, the person in control shall notify the bureau and attempt to make an agreement with the bureau for a licensee to operate the vending facility. If the bureau determines that a vending facility operated by a full-time licensee is not feasible on State property, the business enterprises program may install vending machines on the property with income accruing under section 2234(a)(6). The contract for the operation of a vending facility shall specify that it shall be operated at a reasonable cost consistent with a fair return, high-quality food products or service and reasonable prices.
