3. Purchases off this Agreement.

Upon execution of this Agreement, CPIC may purchase products and services from vendors available on the MAS, provided CPIC complies with the following:

a. State Term Contracts. Prior to requesting any quotes or making any purchase off the MAS, CPIC shall determine in writing that the contractual services or commodities are not available on a State Term Contract, as defined in section 287.012, Florida Statutes.

b. Other Alternate Contract Sources. Prior to requesting any quotes or making any purchase off the MAS, CPIC shall determine in writing that the contractual services or commodities are not available on another Alternate Contract Source established pursuant to section 287.042(16) or section 287.057(3)(b), Florida Statutes.

c. Requesting Quotes. CPIC shall request quotes each time it desires to purchase contractual services or commodities off the MAS. The specific format for requesting quotes is left to the discretion of CPIC. The requirements for requesting quotes shall be in accordance with applicable State of Florida statutes and rules. Agencies shall document the justification for any selection based on receipt of fewer than two quotes.

d. Best Value Determination. After receipt of quotes, CPIC shall select the vendor offering the best value, after consideration of, at a minimum, the following terms (to the extent applicable): price, past performance, probable life of the item, warranty terms, maintenance availability, delivery terms, and trade-in considerations.

e. PUR 7102. For any purchase off the MAS that exceeds $10,000,000.00 for the initial term (excluding optional renewal terms), CPIC shall submit to DMS a Form PUR 7102, Agency Request for Approval of Alternate Contract Source (ACS), for review and approval prior to completion of the purchase. CPIC shall not separately procure portions of a project in a way that subverts this limitation.

f. Purchase Orders. If CPIC uses MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP), CPIC shall issue a Purchase Order through MFMP for all purchases made off the MAS. CPIC shall ensure that the Purchase Order issued off the MAS complies with all legal requirements (such as inclusion of statutorily required terms and conditions).

g. Federal Ordering Guidance. Pursuant to 40 U.S.C. § 502(f), CPIC shall use the MAS in accordance with the ordering guidance provided by the Administrator of the General Services Administration, including any restrictions on use or additional requirements contained therein.

h. Reporting. CPIC shall provide DMS with detailed reports regarding MAS purchases on a quarterly basis, if requested by DMS. If requested, CPIC shall include in such report, at a minimum, a brief description of each MAS purchase and a certification attesting to CPIC’s compliance with the requirements set forth in this agreement. CPIC shall submit these reports within the timeframe requested by DMS. CPIC shall also provide DMS with any other records necessary to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
