The delays in the Medium & Heavy Trucks Contract this year may present a real time problem to State Agencies. • Purchasing Offices should keep in close touch with contractors for status of the delivery of all their vehicles. • For purchases of any type of vehicle, the Purchasing Office should always keep a “tickler” file for keeping a close check on deliveries.
Purchasing Directors’ Meeting February 10, 2005 Agenda • Medium and Heavy Trucks Contract Update • Contracting with Faith-Based and Community Organizations • Legislative Update • Bid Protest Study • Emergency Purchasing Update • Cell Phone Contract Update • Next Meeting Location / Time
Contracting with FBCIsTouchstones • General Principles • Secular purpose principle • Neutrality/no endorsement principle • Non-entanglement principle • Public aid dichotomy • No coercion principle • Value-for-value contract principle • Federal and state regulations
Contracting with FBCIs Secular Purpose Principle Services the state would procure must have a secular purpose. • The state may not procure services that have exclusively a religious purpose or have the intent to aid religion. • Services performed may be secular or religious from the standpoint of the provider (e.g., a soup kitchen has a secular purpose, but volunteers may view their actions as secular or religious).
Contracting with FBCIs Neutrality/No Endorsement Principle • The state may neither advance nor inhibit religion. • The state may not exclude, disadvantage or discriminate against FB providers because they are faith-based. • The state may not prefer or advantage FB providers because they are faith-based. • The state may disadvantage or advantage FB providers for reasons unrelated to faith. • The state may not endorse any particular type of religion nor religion over non-religion.
Contracting with FBCIsNon-Entanglement Principle • The state may enforce generally applicable regulations on FBOs linked to state funding (e.g., financial audits), but may not excessively entangle itself in FB operations. • The state may not condition funding on the degree religiosity or devoutness of a FBCI. • The state may not require FBOs to secularize space (i.e., remove religious symbols, where they deliver services). • The state may not require FBOs to remove religious references from charter documents and publications. • Under federal and state employment law, the state may not prohibit FBOs from discriminating on the basis of religion or sexual orientation in hiring.
Contracting with FBCIsPublic Aid Dichotomy • Direct aid • Indirect or voucher aid
Contracting with FBCIsDirect Aid • Direct aid is public funding flowing directly to FB providers independent of private choice. • The state may not directly fund “inherently religious” activity or religious worship, instruction, or proselytization. • FBOs that receive direct governmental funds should take steps to separate, in time or location, their inherently religious activities from the government-funded services that they offer. • Such organizations should set up a separate non-profit organization to receive and administer it, segregate staff time according to project, and carefully account for their use of all government money. State funds received directly may not be spent on religious materials.
Contracting with FBCIsDirect Aid (cont.) • FBOs that receive direct aid may not require program participants to attend or take part in any religious activities. • FBOs that receive direct aid may not discriminate against a person seeking help who is eligible for the service
Contracting with FBCIsIndirect or Voucher Aid • Voucher/indirect aid is funding flowing to FB providers as a result of the genuinely independent, voluntary, and private choices of individuals. • The state is not required to condition indirect funding of FBOs on limiting their religious speech. • FBOs receiving indirect aid are not required to separate inherently religious activities in time and location from state-funded activities. • FBOs receiving indirect aid may require participants to engage in religious activities.
Contracting with FBCIsNo Coercion Principle • The state may not compel religious belief. • Compelled religious belief may occur when persons seeking mandated public services can select only a FB provider. • Compelled religious belief may occur when there is no comparability between services offered by a FB and a CB provider, setting aside differences due to faith.
Contracting with FBCIsValue-for-Value Contract Principle • The state must receive value-for-value when contracting with FB providers. • The state may not provide unrequited aid or donations to FB providers. • Value-for-value contracts are competitively negotiated or bargained-for and market-based. • Competitively negotiated contracts are value-for-value contracts. • Bargained-for single source contracts may be value-for-value contracts if based upon a market rate.
Contracting with FBCIsFederal and State Regulations • Independent federal and state programs incorporate unique regulations. • For a summary of relevant federal regulations, go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/government/fbci/reg-changes.html. • E.O. 04-245 (2004).

GAO Report 04-870 September 2004 • Best practices report – “Using Spend Analysis to Help AgenciesTake a More Strategic Approach to Procurement” • “’Spend analysis’ is a tool that provides knowledge about who are the buyers, who are the suppliers, how much is being spent for what goods and services, and where are the opportunities to leverage buying power. Private sector companies are using spend analysis as a foundation for employing a strategic approach to procurement.” • “Recognizing the potential in government purchasing, GAO examined if [selected agencies] are using spend analysis to take a strategic approach. GAO assessed (1) if agencies use spend analysis to obtain knowledge to improve procurement of goods and services and (2) how agencies’ practices compare to leading companies best practices.”
GAO ReportSpend Analysis – Key Processes • Automation: Data automatically compiled. • Extraction: Essential data culled from accounts payable and other internal systems. • Supplemental information: Additional data sought from other internal and external sources. • Analysis and strategic goals: Using standard reporting and analytical tools, data analyzed on a continual basis to support decisions on strategic-sourcing and procurement management in areas such as cost cutting, streamlining operations, and reducing the number of suppliers. Scope generally covers an organization's entire spending. • Organization: Review data to ensure accuracy and completeness; organize data into logical, comprehensive commodity and supplier categories.
Legislative UpdateToday’s Newspaper Report of “It’s Broke” Comment • “Ariba's recent merger with FreeMarkets has created the industry's most comprehensive spend management company by bringing together the leading spend management technology and the industry's most complete sourcing and services expertise.” • Ariba currently serves more than 300 sourcing customers who have collectively sourced more than $225 billion globally Forbes’ Business Wire (2/3/05)
Magic Quadrant for Strategic Sourcing Applications, 2004Gartner, Inc. (Jan 31, 2005)
Magic Quadrant for Strategic Sourcing Applications, 2004Gartner, Inc. (Jan 31, 2005) “Before the merger, Ariba had a firm vision of the functional requirements needed to support procurement professionals. It has a strong applications suite, including sourcing, contracts, spend analytics, supplier ratings, category management and contract management. Although they are not all functionally mature, they are better and more integrated with every release.”
