Following up on the advice below, I contacted my state rep (Kitty Beattie Toll) and I attach our exchanges fyi. Here is her latest reply. I will be happy to share my copy of the guidelines of which she speaks as soon as I get my hands on it: "Rick, the software bill you refered to is now in the Government Operations Committee. At this time they have not addressed testimony. However, the chair informed me that the Dept of Information and Innovation has written an "Open Source Software and Open Standards Policy and Guidelines" that has been approved. I am bringing home a copy. What is the best way to get it to you? I hope it is helpful. You can also keep track the bill online at www.leg.state.vt.us. I shared your thoughts with the committee chair. Thanks, Kitty" If you read the attachment, you'll note I volunteered you all as informed sources if she had technical questions...

I had dinner with my state Reps last evening (vt house), and was referring to this bill, and its potential for evaluation as a cost savings tool. I suggest others contact their reps or more importantly legislators with your interest and belief in the savings.
