Subject: General Service Commission Catalog Contract Purchases
Introduction
The City Council has authorized the Information Systems Fund to procure
equipment, software and services through the State of Texas General Services
Commission Catalog Contract Purchasing Process. The original approval was
granted on December 19, 1995 with M&C P-7698.
Background
M&C P-7698 was developed by the Purchasing Administrator with the concurrence
of ISS to provide three improvements to the technology procurement process:
1. Speed the process, which was laborious and time consuming at the time.
2. Minimize paperwork surrounding technology procurements.
3. Take advantage of current market prices compared to fixed term contract
prices (which were almost always higher than market prices.
This procurement process has rigorous safeguards provided by the Purchasing and
Accounting divisions of the Finance Department. Purchasing does not issue any
purchase orders to catalog vendors without them meeting stringent contract
pricing documentation. This process, however, has the advantage of allowing
vendors to change prices, especially for equipment that is dropping in price, on an
almost monthly basis. The City benefits by obtaining equipment and services at
the most current price point, instead of a past price point.
New Procurements
Attached to this report is a summary of vendors, expenditures, and the products
and services acquired since the inception of this purchasing process. The report
lists the vendors, the types of products procured, and the total expenditures for
the period December 1995 through December 1999. Total GSC purchases since
the inception of this procurement process is $20,773,631.79. These purchases
largely represent equipment procured, the networking of City facilities and contract
programming. The balance of GSC expenditures largely represent equipment
maintenance and installation services, as well as software services related to the
equipment procured.
