  11. Governance • DMS is working on a project to propose revisions to specific provisions in Chapter 287, F.S. and Chapter 60A-1, F.A.C. • This will help simplify and streamline the procurement process to make it easier for organizations to do business with the State of Florida.

  12. Governance • Proposed revisions include: • Raising the Category 2 competitive bid threshold from $25,000 • Removing some of the exemptions from competition currently listed in s. 287.057, F.S. • Developing statewide competitive procurement shell templates for each competitive procurement method • Revise the Office of Supplier Diversity language in Chapter 287, F.S. to comport with the Florida A.G.C. Council, Inc. opinion by amending mandatory “set aside” language to encouraging outreach programs

  13. Governance • Strategies • Gauge agency opinions and concerns with agency focus groups • Gauge business community opinions and concerns with vendor focus groups • Send and evaluate responses from a procurement reform survey to all other 49 states, and Washington D.C. via email through the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) to gain information • Research the American Bar Association Model Procurement Code further to determine if Florida wants to adopt a modified version
