On May 31, 2007, the Government Procurement Policy Board (GPPB) approved the Customized Procurement Manuals for the City of Marikina, following a review by the Inter-Agency Technical Working Group. This initiative was part of the implementation of Republic Act No. 9184, which aims to standardize procurement processes across government agencies. The approval included specific conditions, such as requiring the Sangguniang Panglungsod to approve the Annual Procurement Plan before contracts are made, and defining purchase orders as contracts. The City of Marikina was one of nine pilot agencies selected to customize the generic procurement manuals, with a revised version due by August 30, 2007. The resolution took immediate effect upon approval.
