The director shall ensure that the level of quality for goods and services produced iscomparable to similar goods and services available from the private sector. The director shall determine if the quality of goods and services produced is approximately the same as the quality requested by the purchasing agencies and departments. The sale of such goods or services shall not give rise to any warranties, but, in the case of a sale to a state agency or political subdivision, if the quality of the goods or services is not approximately the same as that requested, the director shall refund the purchase price or replace the goods or services. In the case of a sale of surplus goods or services, no refund or replacement shall be made after ninety days from the date of the sale.
