Randy, Here is what Steve is proposing for the procurement schedule in the Fed Biz Ops posting that he will be sending to NSF: “CCI intends to issue the solicitation approximately September 17, 2015 and proposals will be due October 28, 2015. Award is planned for approximately November 18, 2015.” I talked to him about the dates yesterday and his main concern is that if we shorten up the proposal development time (almost 6 weeks), that we may not get as much interest from contractors.

The plan includes federal agency procurement officials participating in over 200 events within three months to provide information regarding the federal contracting opportunities.

I believe that a procurement program will be found within the legacy programs that are in use at BAL. Specifically within the ERP program already being used, Compass Contracts. There appears to be a procurement module already included and perhaps the expansion module would suffice for BAL’s current needs.

It is quite challenging to discuss about procurement management without stating the importance of its strategies. There are four main basic procurement strategies that serve different functions within a procurement management. To begin with, a “Partnership” strategy focuses mainly on constructing mutual commitment in long term relationship with suppliers. While a “Secure Supply” strategy aims to secure short and long term supply while reducing risk from suppliers. In addition, a “Category Management and E-Procurement solutions” serves as a tool to reduce logistic complexity, improve operational efficiency, and attempts to reduce the number of suppliers. Lastly, a “Competive Bidding” strategy emphasizes on obtaining the “Best Deal” for short term transactions with suppliers.(van weele) Each of these four strategies involves a unique purchasing methodology, which implies that the complexity is embedded in an individual strategic implication. Therefore, it requires different tools to accomplish the specific strategical characteristics. A business entity may need to support and execute procurement decisions with other strategic apparatus with analytical methods, including market analysis, uncertainty analysis, price forecasting, supplier relationship and along with others.(Harvard)

Procurement intends to explore supply market opportunities and to implement resourcing strategies that deliver the best possible supply outcome to the organization, its stakeholders and clients (Kidd, 2005).
