December 17, 2007
Page 2
Purpose of the session:
The purpose of the training session is to review the new process and procedure for agencies, colleges and universities to ask State Purchasing for the authority to exceed their DPA for RFQs. This training session will provide you with an explanation of how these requests will be handled by SPD. In addition you will learn how agencies and universities will handle purchases that are exempt from the OCGA and GPM and how agencies and universities will handle purchases requiring an NOIA.
These enhancements provide the following:▪ An easy method to post solicitations that are exempt from the
OCGA and the GPM▪ An automated process that enables an agency, university or
college to request authorization from State Purchasing to exceed their DPA
▪ Ability for agencies, universities and college granted approval to post a solicitation that is over $100,000 to subsequently post the NOIA for that solicitation

Session objectives:
By the end of the session you will be able to: Describe the process an agency or university will follow to
request authorization to exceed their DPA for RFQs. Describe how SPD will handle that request including who
is responsible for receiving the request, for responding to the request, and for monitoring the request
List and explain the three possible responses an agency or university requesting authorization to exceed their DPA will receive from SPD
Identify how an agency or university will post exempt solicitations on the GPR
Identify what are exempt solicitations Describe how to post an NOIA for recommended awards

Page 25
Example—Level 2 Buyer has a Non-exempt bid over the DPA of $100,000—here is the process
Agency wants to request a one-time
exceed DPA
APO/UPO or designee sends the completed
request form to SPD email address:
CCMRouting@doas.ga.gov
SPD receives and process request and communicates with
requester
SPD will assign a number to the request and email it to the
requester with the request form the SPD authority decision
When agency personnel posts the solicitation in GPR, the solicitation must include the SPD approval or
conditional approval number
Solicitation
SPD will respond to the solicitation
based on the criteria indicated on request
form

SPD Notifies Buyer of Decision
In this example, buyer with approval to post solicitation above DPA begins the process…
Page 30
Page 31
Message pops up
Page 32
Box appears—for buyer to write in justification: Provides pre-approval information
Page 33
After attempting to post the bid, the following appears…
Page 34
And what appears on the buyer’s initial screen
Page 35
Meanwhile, back at SPD
To view the bid
Decision to be made by SPD
Page 36
Page 37
SPD reviews log which, in this example, indicates agency buyer was given complete authority to post the bid and make the award
Page 38
Page 39
Buyer gets this email—also an email indicating vendors have been notified and vendors are, in fact, notified
Page 40
Not on initial screen anymore
Page 41
Fast Forward—Bid closes and now is in pending status…
Page 42
Attempt to award….
Page 43
But needs the NOIA!
Level 2 Buyer is not able to post the NOIA—that must be done by Level 6 Buyer
Page 44
Level 2 buyer not able to post NOIA—option is not on the menu
Page 45
Agency or University Level 6 Buyer can do this…option is on the menu

10 days go by…and the status changes
Page 51
Award is made
Page 52
Page 53
Example: Level 6 Buyer posts a bid over DPA of $100,000 without first submitting form to SPD
Page 54
Page 55
Again, Buyer gets the message
Page 56
And SPD gets the notice…
Page 57
In this example, SPD maintains total authority
Page 58
Page 59
Buyer gets this email…

Example: Buyer posts bid over DPA after submitting the form and receiving a response of CONDITIONAL APPROVAL
Page 61
Page 62
Page 63
To SPD….
Page 64
This time authority is returned to the agency…but CONDITIONALLY
Page 65
Page 66
Buyer gets the following email…
Page 67
Other Example: .Buyer from Organization Exempt from OCGA and GPM (such as the GA World Congress Center)—does not get that first screen and just posts the bid
Page 68
Example: Buyer from Agency with DPA less than $100,000. Solicitation is for greater than DPA. Approval already provided by SPD
