Chapter 849 Work Group Virginia Procurement Overview Michael Capps, MPH Office of Procurement and General Services
Governed by Virginia Public Procurement Act (Va. Code 2.2-4300 et seq) Agency Procurement and Surplus Property Manual (APSPM) VITA IT Procurement Manual VDH Procurement Policies VDH-OIM IT Procurement Policies & Procedures
Overview Office of Info. Management Project Request Request for Approval to Purchase Procurement Options VITA requirements
VDH Office of Information Management If VDH is the lead agency, submit a project request to OIM Indicate High Level Business Requirements, Project Objective & Benefits, existence of Custom Off The Shelf System (COTS) through a vendor OIM makes the call on in-house development or procurement If cost is over $250,000, OIM has to obtain approval from VITA.
Request for Approval to Purchase (RAP) In VDH, a business unit will take ownership of the project and submit a RAP for an initial approval to initiate the procurement process. Indicate dollar amount, scope of work, projected procurement method, etc. The RAP request is submitted through VDH s Shared Business Services (SBS) portal STLAR
Procurement Options VITA State Contract Is there an existing contract from which we can work to get this software? OIM will usually consider this during project review Quick Quote Under $100,000 probably not applicable here Request for Proposals (RFP) Solicit proposals/quotes from vendors. (OPGS task) VDH (OPGS, OIM, owning business unit) review the proposals and select a vendor OIM vendor selection committee for custom development with vendor
Vendor Review and Selection Longest step in the process OIM heavily involved in reviewing tech aspects of the proposals VITA Enterprise Cloud Oversight Services (ECOS) Cloud-based security review more stringent than cloud-based security requirements in most other states Once a selected vendor has passed all levels of OIM and VITA review, a contract can be issued. If over $250,000, VITA has to issue a Project Initiation Approval Over $1M - Commissioner approval
Time Comparison Procure vs. Develop OIM decision based on funding, scheduling needs/mandates, OIM staff. Could be as little as a few months or up to a few years Right now, OIM would likely not take on an internal development of this scope Biggest time saver in procurement making sure vendors are fully aware of VITA/ECOS requirements before they respond to an RFP. RFP solicitation will include all VITA/ECOS requirements and all general terms and conditions
