MFMP Year-End Overview • This year-end we processed 15,234 purchase orders with a “Delay Purchase Until” of July 1. • 4,803 unencumbered requisitions (compared to 3,434 last year) • 10,431 encumbered requisitions (compared to 9,776 last year) • Only 343 failed orders that were all resolved by July 2 • MFMP Buyer, VIP and Sourcing were available a full business day sooner than anticipated.

  6. MFMP Utilization Update • Agencies continue to improve their utilization of MFMP, especially in the eQuote metric. • The following agencies are green in all five metrics: • Department of State • Department of Citrus • Department of Environmental Protection • Department of Juvenile Justice • Department of Management Services

  7. Commodity Code Standardization • CR 155, an enhancement to standardize the State of Florida’s commodity codes, was implemented the week of June 30 – July 3, converting the Florida specific commodity codes (FLID) to the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) in all MFMP applications and VBS. • All requisitions with a “Delay Purchase Until” of July 1 and open MFMP commodity level contracts were converted to the new code set. • Available training on MFMP U: • Four webinars were conducted for agency customers beginning in June and concluding on July 15. • A job aid for agency customers including tips for locating commodity codes, order processing in MFMP, and reporting using the new commodity code set. • An online training for vendor customers covering how to select UNSPSC commodity codes.

  8. VBS/MarketView Update • MarketView has been officially sunset as of June 30, 2014. • Vendor data previously available through MarketView is now available on the MFMP Vendor Information Portal (VIP). • MFMP U has a new online training available for agency customers on how to search for vendors in VIP. • Commodity code information is available through the UNSPSC website (www.unspsc.org) or through MFMP Buyer. • Open VBS advertisements had their commodity codes converted the night of June 30. • The URL for the VBS search advertisements page has changed. We recommend updating any saved “favorites” to reflect the VBS home page.

  9. VBS/MarketView Update The updated commodity code search in VBS allows agencies to search for codes by description or number within the VBS application.

  10. VBS/MarketView Update Additionally, a new screen has been added to the “Create Advertisement” process allowing the user to upload files, edit the advertisement, or view the completed advertisement.

  11. VBS/MarketView Update • State Purchasing is looking for feedback on the Vendor Bid System. • On July 11, State Purchasing distributed a survey to all VBS advertisement administrators and agency VBS administrators. • Deadline for responses is July 25. • Please encourage your teams to complete the survey. Your feedback is very valuable.

  12. Professional Development Verifications and Updating of Needs Assessment Survey/Data • Responses to last year’s needs assessment survey have been emailed to purchasing directors. Please verify and update the data that was emailed to you. • Please be sure to add the city where each person on the list works to help with locating resources and coordinating training around the state in the future. • A column has been added to provide you with the option to prioritize some or all of your staff. • Response is due by close of business Monday, July 21.

  13. Professional Development Course Development • Florida Contract Manager and Negotiator courses will be pilot and beta tested from August through October. • Both courses are designed using a blended learning concept to reduce the amount of time staff is away from their office. The courses each consist of online modules to be completed prior to the course and a two-day face-to-face classroom course. • To successfully complete the Florida Contract Manager and Florida Contract Negotiator courses, students must pass an end of course examination covering the content in both the online modules and classroom course.

  14. Professional Development Registration • There are enough sessions to meet all agency needs, as currently identified on the needs assessment survey, before December 2016. • Seats are being allocated based on agency need and the number of sessions to ensure fair representation of all agencies. • Each quarter, registration will be opened to a specified or limited number of the individuals identified on the agency needs assessment survey. • Registration will be processed electronically on a quarterly basis.

  15. Governance • Chapter 2014-135, Relating to State Contracting (formerly HB 953) • Signed by the Governor on June 13, 2014 • Amends section 287.057, F.S., it adds subsection (1)(b)3.d. & amends(1)(c)3 • Requires that request for proposals and invitations to negotiate include in the evaluation criteria the prior relevant experience of a vendor • Guidebook revisions • In preparation for the August 2014 revisions, please submit any suggested edits or changes to PURGuidebook@dms.myflorida.com.
