  23. Overview of MyFloridaMarketPlaceSystem Benefits • “E-procurement can deliver more than just lower prices. Indeed, the net impact of its other characteristic deliverables – better productivity, faster processing, greater visibility, the elimination of maverick, or unplanned, ad hoc buying – can have a much higher ROI than what can be achieved by shaving a few pennies off price.” • “Better productivity in the buying department [allows] buyers to do what they ought to do – buy better, not shuffle paper. …[Purchasing agents’] jobs used to be transaction-based. Now they are performing a higher value role.” CIO Magazine, 6/15/03

  26. State Purchasing Reorganization DMS obtained input from the CRP and multiple agency interviews. A number of opportunity themes for State Purchasing emerged. – Subset of Interview Questions– – Other Themes of Opportunities – • What services does State Purchasing provide to you? How well do they provide these services (i.e., what is and isn’t working)? • What other services would you like to see State Purchasing provide? • Involvement / input from Agencies • Interaction with Agencies • Communication with Agencies • Assistance / support • Services rec’d are less value than 1% fees • Unavailable • Unresponsive • Inconsistent (answers, guidelines, procedures, processes, interpretations) • VBS cumbersome and inefficient • Slow on single-source exception reviews • Legal unresponsive and “liberal” • Purchasing expertise • Training • Leadership – STC Themes of Opportunities – • Inconsistent competitive value • Unresponsive to new STC opportunities • Slow renewals • Overuse of contract extensions • New RFQ requirement on STCs makes them redundant (provides bid list only) • Inconsistent and poorly written contracts N = CRP + 23 Interviews

  27. State Purchasing Reorganization The workshop process led to evaluation criteria and weights, which State Purchasing used to develop and evaluate the organization design alternatives. N = 9 * CMBE – Certified Minority Business Enterprise

  30. Leverage State-Wide Volume Obtain Best Prices & Value Obtain State-Wide Savings Reduce State-Wide Supply Base Identify New STC Opportunities Increase Demand / Volume on STCs Manage Compliance Strategic Sourcing Objectives Strategic sourcing is a proactive process to leverage demand and select vendors that offer the best value.

  31. – Agency – – State – – Vendors – Strategic Sourcing Benefits • Leveraged savings • Reduced supply base • STC compliance management • Increased spend visibility • Data capture for future leveraging • Reduced transactional workload • Increased vendor compliance with transaction fee collection • Best price STCs to leverage • No additional purchasing effort required – vendors, contracts, pricing, and service levels “ready to go” on most contracts • Users “release” – reduced transactional workload • Increased time to spend on Agency- unique needs • Increased volume • Reduced rework (e.g., no more STC events followed by Agency events for same goods / services) • Lowered cost of doing business with the State • Increased visibility into demand over time • Longer-term contracts • More ROI in State business

  38. Operational IssuesIT Consulting Contracts • Potential Y2K crisis led to change in consulting procurement practices, away from time-consuming formal competitive bid process and toward prompt, non-exclusive, pre-qualification process • Led to audits, both in-house and by others, criticizing number of contracts (70), lack of competition, inadequate terms, and confusion of use. See Audit of State Term Procedures for Acquiring IT Consultant Services (DMS IG Report No. 2000-118); Selected State Agencies’ IT Consultant Procurement Practices (AG Report No. 02-050 Oct. 2001); IT Consultant Services Contract Audit (EOG IG Report Sep. 2001) • DMS Purchasing memoranda provided interim guidance. See Multiple Award State Term Contracts, Memo. No. 5 (00/01) (Oct. 5, 2000); State Term Contracts for Information Technology Consulting Services, Memo. No. 1 (00/01) (rev. Sep. 5, 2000). Interim statutory fix validated request for quotes (RFQ) process in May 2001

  39. Operational IssuesIT Consulting Contracts • In October 2001, DMS and STO began review of best IT procurement practices. First (prototype) new solicitation was IT Hardware contract in June 2002. Detailed review done of federal experience procuring IT services (federal spend went from $8 billion in 1997 to $17 billion in 2001). • DMS worked with STO and DCF resources (purchasing and technology) to develop new formal competitive solicitation documents (RFP). Expect to release before September 1, 2003. • Effective July 1, 2003, State Purchasing has ceased the old method of awarding IT Consulting contracts. For those in queue, applicant must have done everything necessary by June 30, otherwise its application will be denied and its recourse will be to bid new contract (or contract directly with user agency). • New contract will follow federal schedule model – unassailably, a best practice. Number of contractors will decrease significantly.

  40. Operational IssuesIT Consulting Contracts • Transition period will require adjustment • Some contracts are expiring between now and September 1 and will not be renewed • Unisys Corporation 7/17/03 • Motorola 7/22/03 • Gulf Computers, Inc. 7/23/04 • United Consulting Systems, Inc. 8/04/03 • Advanced Data Solutions, Inc. 8/14/03 • Bearing Point, Inc. 8/18/03 • Anteon International Corp. 8/26/03 • I.S. Consulting 8/27/03 • Xerox Corp 8/27/03 • Digital Fusion 8/27/03

  42. Operational IssuesSingle Source Processing - Problems • Single source purchases over Category Four ($150,000) require review and approval by DMS following agency posting of the single source description on the Vendor Bid System (VBS) (see sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(5)(c), FS) • Agency Feedback • The process is slow • Uncertain as to content to post on VBS, both in the single source description posting and the single source notice of intended decision following DMS approval • Uncertain as to the content of the Exceptional Purchase Request submitted to State Purchasing

  43. Operational IssuesSingle Source Processing - Solutions State Purchasing proposes the following for comment: • To speed up the process, we will accept single source requests via email at singlesource@dms.state.fl.us. Attach signed and scanned Exceptional Purchase Request forms and supporting documents. We will return approvals by email if you provide an email address. • To reduce uncertainty as to content, we are furnishing suggested formats for the Exceptional Purchase Request for a single source purchase, and for the Vendor Bid System before-and-after postings. When posting please use an “SS” prefix to distinguish from competitive solicitations. We are investigating the cost of a posted list separate from competitive solicitations, and will keep you informed on that possibility. • You may use these suggested formats now. • Please also feel free to suggest changes, and email them to singlesource@dms.state.fl.us. If changes are incorporated, revised formats with the changes will be distributed to the agency purchasing directors.

  44. Operational IssuesSingle Source Processing - Solutions Suggested Content for form PUR 7006 (Exceptional Purchase Request) • The following documents are attached to this request for DMS approval of a single source purchase: (1) A copy of the advertisement in the Vendor Bid System, including posting start and end date. (2) A copy of the Single Source Description (including complete justification) posted in the attached or equivalent format on the Vendor Bid System with the advertisement, including start and end dates in accordance with s. 287.057(5)(c), FS. • Responses received from other vendors during advertisement of the single source description: __ No __ Yes. If yes, attach copies of vendor responses, and any written reply by the agency, with written explanation of the agency’s decision to continue with a single source acquisition. • Registration with Department of State (sunbiz.org) ___ Copy of Dept of State registration attached. ___ Copy of Dept of State registration not attached. Agency understands DMS will verify registration if copy is not attached, and reject single source purchase if vendor has not complied with statutory requirement for corporate registration (ref. Ch. 607 FS). • Registration in MyFloridaMarketPlace: ___ Yes ___ No If “No” cite administrative rule authority for failure to register:

  46. Operational IssuesCommodity Codes - Uses Commodity Codes are used … … to code purchases and solicitations for vendor selection and miscellaneous search and reporting purposes. … in vendor registration to facilitate buyer searches for vendors of specific commodities and services. … in vendor email notice registration in order for vendors to be notified of marketing opportunities (formal competitive solicitations, quotes, single source descriptions) … in determining where we are spending our dollars, to facilitate order consolidation/aggregation, determine bid thresholds, receive quantity discounts, strategic sourcing, etc.

  47. Operational IssuesCommodity Codes - Problems • Some newer items/technologies/services have not been coded. • The definitions of some coding classifications and/or groups do not include all the appropriate items. • Some classes, e.g., 973 for professional services and 991 for technical services, include vastly different types of services, some of which, e.g., medical related and construction related, might better be broken out into new classes. • Commodity codes are difficult for vendors and buyers to search on the State Purchasing web site, because they are essentially scrolling through a condensed list (classes), and must open a sub-list (groups) to look for specific products.

  48. Operational IssuesCommodity Codes - Solutions • Add/delete items to existing classes and groups • Add/delete groups to existing classes • Add new classes with appropriate groups, perhaps removed from over-broad classes • Explore the possibility of a word search capability for vendor registration in MFMP and solicitation/single source coding in VBS

  49. Operational IssuesCommodity Codes – Next Steps YOUR HELP IS NEEDED • Email Ron Brown at brownr@dms.state.fl.us with your suggestions related to “SOLUTIONS” above, and any other related improvements you’d like to suggest • Be prepared to discuss proposed changes with Ron or his designee
