   18  services the acquisition of which is governed by s. 287.055,
   19  from the purchasing agreements of other special districts,
   20  municipalities, or counties which have been procured pursuant to
   21  competitive bid, requests for proposals, requests for
   22  qualifications, competitive selection, or competitive
   23  negotiations, and which are otherwise in compliance with general
   24  law if the purchasing agreement of the other special district,
   25  municipality, or county was procured by a process that would
   26  have met the procurement requirements of the purchasing special
   27  district.
   28         Section 2. Subsection (2) of section 189.418, Florida

   37  purposes of this section and s. 175.101(1), the boundaries of a
