Governance
Proposed Legislation/Bills for 2014 Legislative Session
•
HB801 Relating to Preference in the Award of State Contracts
Extends the Florida Business Preference beyond the purchase of personal property to
construction services and expands the application to include counties and
municipalities. 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.

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.
