The commissioner of administration shall consolidate these and may purchase the entire amount or such part thereof at one time as he shall deem best. Any contract for such purchases may provide only the price at which the supplies needed during the year shall be purchased and that the supplies shall be delivered in such amounts and at such times as ordered throughout the year and be paid for at such time and for such amounts as delivered. In such case, certification from the commissioner of administration and the auditor shall be required only for the amount ordered at any time.
