a purchase by the authority of equipment and the sale of that equipment to a state agency on an installment payment basis; or(4)

If an agreement is between the authority and a state agency or between a vendor and a state agency, the commission shall nevertheless perform its functions as purchasing agent for the state, with the funds obtained under this section used solely to finance the agreement. The board and the commission shall adopt a memorandum of understanding that defines the division of authority between the board and the commission.(d)
A state agency may enter into a type of agreement described by this section to purchase or lease necessary equipment.(e)

The authority shall adopt rules so that computer equipment may not be financed before the authority receives written proof that the requirements have been satisfied.
