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

What are the Steps We Will Review
• 1st Screen Decision-Tree for Agencies, Universities, and Colleges that are to follow purchasing policies and procedures in the OCGA and GOM▪ Exempt Purchases▪ Non-exempt Purchases

Posting a Bid when DPA is not a Factor because the Purchase is Exempt:
Here is the First Screen that Appears:
No is the default
Page 11
Example: A Level 2 buyer has a bid that is falls under one of the Exempt categories
Click Yes
Page 20
Example: Level 2 Buyer has a bid that is non-exempt but is under the DPA of 100,000
Click No
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 37
SPD reviews log which, in this example, indicates agency buyer was given complete authority to post the bid and make the award
Page 39
Buyer gets this email—also an email indicating vendors have been notified and vendors are, in fact, notified
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 53
Example: Level 6 Buyer posts a bid over DPA of $100,000 without first submitting form to SPD
Page 60
Example: Buyer posts bid over DPA after submitting the form and receiving a response of CONDITIONAL APPROVAL
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
