  4. ROAD MAP TO EXCELLENCE IN CONTRACTINGInspector General Derry Harper, 6/03 • Need legislative and regulatory changes to address inadequacies and inconsistencies in statutes and rules • DMS should accept and implement theleadership role required by Florida Statute • develop formal procedures for needs assessments, standard formats for contracts • foster user groups to share best practices and common problems. • Undertake a statewide training initiative, and include incentives to encourage professionalism and certification. • Include training in contract negotiation and contract management. • Create a uniform vendor rating system to include links to websites, closeout evaluations, and a method for other agencies to access performance evaluations. • Propose legislation to enact a law similar to the federal Truth in Negotiating Act.

  5. DMS shortcomings in leading contract management • Inadequate management of contracts by agencies due to abdication of leadership. • No collection of information on contractor performance. • Failure to share information on contractor performance among agencies. • Missed opportunity to use performance information in contracting decisions.

  13. STATE PURCHASING MISSION

  14. Our Mission at State Purchasing flows from the Governor’s top priorities: • Reducing Violent Crime and Drug Use • Creating a Smaller, More Effective, and Efficient Government • Building Economic Opportunity for All • Helping the Most Vulnerable • Improving Quality of Life and the Environment • Improving Student Achievement

  15. And From Our Secretary Bill Simon’s Mission: To become a customer focused agency providing effective and efficient services in order to better enable state agencies and employees to deliver the Governor’s priorities to the people of Florida.

  16. Director of Purchasing Fred Springer’s Mission: To gladly deliver useful and innovative purchasing services in order to become a customer focused agency providing effective and efficient customer services.

  17. Chief Purchasing Operations Officer Russ Rothman’s Mission: To deliver effective and efficient support services, governance processes and professional training to State Purchasing and agency purchasing staffs in order to deliver useful and innovative purchasing services.

  18. What Do These Missions Mean? For DMS and State Purchasing, we see our role as driving down both your administrative costs and the prices you pay for goods and services by delivering…

  19. DELIVERING… • (1)Purchasing statutes, rules and policies that support economical, efficient and effective purchasing on behalf of the State and its subdivisions. • (2)An effective and efficient electronic purchasing system, MyFloridaMarketPlace.

  20. DELIVERING (continued)… • (3)State term contracts, strategically sourced, administratively easy to use, with the best value (prices, item/service quality, terms and conditions) obtainable by a customer of our stature.

  21. DELIVERING (continued)… (4)Training and support to State Purchasing, state agency and subdivision purchasing professionals in key skills, including general purchasing, contract negotiation, contract management, eProcurement and management of purchasing operations.

  31. STRATEGIC SOURCING

  32. New Strategy: STRATEGIC SOURCING • INTERNAL PROFILE: Analyze where significant funds are spent, by whom, on what, and what are the usage trends • EXTERNAL PROFILE: Analyze industry trends & vendors • SOURCING STRATEGY: Determine what procurement method, what to include, contract terms, evaluation criteria

  33. INTERNAL PROFILE This includes a review of data from state systems, including FLAIR and SPURS, and surveys of agencies and eligible users

  34. EXTERNAL PROFILE This includes surveys of vendors, and review of information available on the Internet, such as from industry associations, Bureau of Labor Statistics (PPI), and business sites, Requests for Information.

  35. SOURCING STRATEGY This includes what items to list in a solicitation, and how to group them, the type of solicitation (ITB, RFP, ITN, reverse auction), the terms and conditions, including contract length, evaluation criteria, and use of price indexes.

  36. NEW APPROACH EQUITY IN CONTRACTING (ONE FLORIDA) AND FOUR OTHER STATE OBJECTIVES

  37. REQUIRE PLAN ADDRESSING STATE OBJECTIVES BIDDERS/RESPONDENTS INCLUDE PLAN ADDRESSING • EQUITY IN CONTRACTING • RECYCLED CONTENT & POLLUTION CONTROL • PRIDE • RESPECT • DRUG FREE WORKPLACE

  38. PLAN • MUST BE INCLUDED FOR BID/PROPOSAL TO BE CONSIDERED RESPONSIVE • SUBJECT TO RENEGOTIATION PRIOR TO CONTRACT SIGNING • INVOLVES NO PRICE PREFERENCE OR POINTS

  39. THE FUTURE OF SNAPS (State Negotiated Agreements and Price Schedules)

  40. HISTORY OF SNAPS • DEVELOPED IN 1996-97 TO FACILITATE CONTRACTING WITH INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY VENDORS, AND FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMODITIES AND SERVICES • SEEN AS POSSIBLE INCUBATOR FOR FUTURE STATE TERM CONTRACTS

  41. HISTORY OF SNAPS (continued) • LIMITED TO PURCHASES UP TO $25,000 (CATEGORY 2) PER TRANSACTION AND $150,000 (CATEGORY 4) PER CONTRACT, PER AGENCY, PER YEAR • AUTHORITY IN 287.042 and 287.056, Florida Statutes, although the term “SNAPS” is not used in either section, and 60A-1.008(2), Florida Administrative Code.

  42. HISTORY OF SNAPS (continued) • SNAPS AGREEMENTS HAVE BEEN RELATIVELY EASY TO GET • STATE PURCHASING WORK LOAD IS SUBSTANTIAL, WITH HUNDREDS OF SNAPS AGREEMENTS PROCESSED • SAVINGS ARE QUESTIONABLE, AS SNAPS AGREEMENTS ARE NEGOTIATED, NOT COMPETED • AGENCIES FREQUENTLY BEAT SNAPS PRICES THROUGH INFORMAL BIDS

  43. HISTORY OF SNAPS (continued) • FIVE SNAPS AGREEMENTS BECAME STATE CONTRACTS • MANY SNAPS AGREEMENTS ARE NEVER USED

  44. PRINCIPAL CONCERNS WITH SNAPS • MOST AGREEMENTS ARE VENDOR-DRIVEN, THAT IS, RATHER THAN PROCEEDING FROM AN IDENTIFIED GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENT, THEY PROCEED FROM VENDOR DESIRES FOR A MARKETING TOOL • EXAMPLE: OF 800 CURRENT SNAPS AGREEMENTS, MORE THAN HALF REFLECT NO REPORTED PURCHASES

  45. PRINCIPAL CONCERNS WITH SNAPS (continued) • PRICING FOR MANY PURCHASES IS NOT COMPETITIVE • PROCESSING WORKLOAD IS HEAVY • MANY AGENCIES AND ELIGIBLE USERS WILL NOT USE SNAPS FOR SIGNIFICANT PURCHASES

  46. SNAPS POSSIBILITIES • CONTINUE WITH SNAPS “AS IS” • DISCONTINUE SNAPS ALTOGETHER • ALLOW SNAPS TO CONTINUE, BUT RESTRICT USE TO AGENCIES AND ELIGIBLE USERS NOT ONLINE WITH MYFLORIDAMARKETPLACE AND ITS “EQUOTE” CAPABILITY • RE-ENGINEER TO MAKE SNAPS PRICE-COMPETITIVE AND BUYER (NOT VENDOR) DRIVEN

  47. LEADING “SNAPS III” CONCEPT ISSUANCE OF A SNAPS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONTINGENT UPON: 1. REQUEST FOR AN AGREEMENT BY A BUYER (AN AGENCY OR OTHER ELIGIBLE USER), WITH AN INTENTION TO MAKE A PURCHASE OF A COMMODITY OR SERVICE NOT ON STATE TERM CONTRACT 2. SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK PROVIDED BY THE REQUESTING BUYER,

  48. LEADING “SNAPS III” CONCEPT (continued) 3. THE REQUESTING BUYER WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO IDENTIFY ANY KNOWN VENDORS WHO COULD MEET THE NEED 4. THE DMS SNAPS TEAM WILL ATTEMPT TO REGISTER ANY NON-REGISTERED SOURCES IDENTIFIED, AND WILL CONDUCT A COMPETITIVE SOLICITATION USING THE “EQUOTE” TOOL IN MYFLORIDAMARKETPLACE

  49. LEADING “SNAPS III” CONCEPT (continued) • 5. AGREEMENTS WILL BE ESTABLISHED FOR A TWELVE MONTH PERIOD WITH NO RENEWAL. IF A SPECIFIC NEED JUSTIFYING A SNAPS AGREEMENT IS IDENTIFIED AFTER THAT TIME, ANOTHER EQUOTE COMPETITIVE SOLICITATION WILL BE CONDUCTED

  50. LEADING “SNAPS III” CONCEPT (continued) • 6. SNAPS PURCHASES PER CONTRACT WILL BE REVIEWED QUARTERLY, WITH A VIEW TO ESTABLISHING A STATE TERM CONTRACT WHERE $1 MILLION SNAPS PURCHASES COMBINED WITH OTHER NON-STATE-TERM-CONTRACT PURCHASES OF LIKE ITEMS COULD YIELD SAVINGS >$100K ANNUALLY
