Section 287.084 would now supersede local ordinance that might restrict certified contractors under section 489.105(8), Florida Statutes, from competing for an award based upon specific local preferences. The bill also removes the previous exemption for counties and municipalities. • HB953 Relating to State Contracting (Similar to SB914) Amending solicitation requirements for both Request for Proposals and Invitations to Negotiate to include a vendor’s prior relevant experience in the evaluation criteria. • HB1281 Relating to Preference in Award of Governmental Contracts The bill creates section 255.0991, Florida business preference and amends sections 283.35 and 287.084, Florida Statutes, to create a uniform business preference throughout the two statutes in the procurement of personal property, services and printing. The bill creates a preference for in-state businesses. 11 Governance Proposed Legislation/Bills for 2014 Legislative Session • SB612 Relating to Preference in the Award of State Contracts Similar to HB 801 but amends section 215.985, Florida Statutes, requiring state agencies to also post to the contract tracking system whether the contract is on the complaint list, suspended vendor list or terminated vendor list per section 287.1335. The bill creates section 287.1335 and provides that vendors disclose in their responses to competitive solicitations whether vendors were terminated for non-performance, paid a fine or penalty, or entered a settlement in a federal state or local government contract. The Department of Management Services is to maintain a website of the following: the vendor complaint list, the suspended vendor list, and the terminated vendor list. When agencies evaluate bids, proposals or replies, they are to consider the information on the foregoing lists to determine whether the vendor is responsible and responsive. 12 Governance Proposed Senate Legislation/Bills for 2014 Legislative Session • SB1240 Relating to Public Records/Personal Financial Statement/Contract Bidding This bill exempts from the public records disclosure requirements of section 119.07(1), Florida Statutes, and Article I of the Florida Constitution, a personal financial statement, balance sheet, income statement or cash flow statement that a governmental entity or agency requires a person to submit in response to a competitive solicitation or as a term or condition of a contract. 13 Professional Development Evaluating all of the certification programs offered for public procurement professionals • Reviewing and revising programs to meet all statutory requirements • Ensuring programs reflect best practices in public procurement Certification Expired On or Before: Certification Extended To: Florida Certified Contract Manager Jan. 31, 2015 June 30, 2015 Florida Certified Purchasing Agent/Manager June 30, 2014 Dec. 31, 2015 14 Professional Development • Current programs – Florida Certified Purchasing Agent and Florida Certified Purchasing Manager – Both programs will be replaced with new certificate programs in 2015. • Certifications programs to resume in the fall of this calendar year – Florida Certified Contract Manager – Florida Certified Contract Negotiator • Check the State Purchasing Professional Development website for updates. 15 Commodity Code Standardization The State of Florida will be transitioning from the current custom commodity code set to the UNSPSC code set on July 1, 2014. • The UNSPSC code set is used by most vendors. Several large states have moved to this code structure to make spend comparison easier. • UNSPSC has a hierarchical eight digit format with a four-level tree structure: Segment, Family, Class, and Commodity (ex. 80150301). • The state will be implementing approximately 9,000 of the 55,000 available UNSPSC codes. 16 Commodity Code Standardization • The Vendor Bid System (VBS) will be making changes to convert to the new code set. – VBS will convert open advertisements during downtime the evening of June 30-July 1, 2014. VBS will be available again July 2. • Updates on the project, including the new UNSPSC code set and mapping from the current custom Florida codes to the new codes, are available on the MFMP website under Current Projects. 17 How to Contact Us • Kelley Scott, Director of State Purchasing & Chief Procurement Officer [email protected] • Richard Chatel, Bureau Chief, Goods [email protected] • Marjorie Rubenstein, Bureau Chief, IT/Telecom [email protected] • Cliff Nilson, Bureau Chief, Services & Special Projects [email protected] • Veronica McCrackin, Governance and Professional Development Manager [email protected] • Cliff Chroust, State Purchasing Operations Manager [email protected] • Kasey Bickley, MyFloridaMarketPlace Program Manager [email protected] 18
