BALTIMORE – Before this playoff
run, a preseason rallying cry from Der-
rick Henry had started to take hold with
the Titans.
Why not us?
Now you have to wonder: Who is go-
ing to stop them?
These underachievers turned over-
achievers, the ones who’ve seemingly
fought uphill all season, wearing a lack
of respect on their sleeves, have proved
doubters wrong all the way to becoming
legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
Ending the Patriots’ dynasty at its
most vulnerable, impressive as that
was, was one thing.
Saturday night’s 28-12 victory over
the AFC’s top-seeded Ravens was an-
other.
This was the stage where failure
would have been expected, even under-
standable. In this roaring purple place,
against these Ravens, winners of 12 in a
row and owners of the most prolific
rushing offense in NFL history, every-
thing was lined up against the visitors
from Nashville, Tennessee.
Instead, it became the biggest state-
ment yet by these Titans. They’ve man-
aged to make something special out of a
season with so many earlier lows that
the highs can’t help but be astounding.
It’s real, though. These Titans really
are capable of beating anyone any-
where. We didn’t really know that until
Saturday night. We do now.
The Titans were somehow able to
control a game in which they were out-
gained 530 yards to 300 and in which
quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw for
only 88 yards compared with Henry’s
195 on 30 carries.
They did it by being more clutch than
the Ravens – scoring three touchdowns
on third down, forcing turnovers, mak-
ing two critical defensive stops on
fourth-and-short – and continuing to
ride the tireless Henry and a steady
rushing attack that is proving tortuous
for all defenses in its path.
You could say it’s winning ugly, but
there is no such thing at this point in a
season.
The Titans earned this AFC Champi-
onship Game trip.
For as much excitement as they’ve
provided in recent months, nothing has
been easy. This rarely looked like a dom-
inant team, more so a gritty, well-
coached, hardworking one. That was
the identity, and as much as you respect
it, you also had to wonder about the up-
side when the competition increased.
And there was no NFL team as domi-
nant this season as the Ravens. The
playoffs, as they should be, are built to
reward worthy regular seasons. The
Ravens had all of the advantages. They
had a raucous home crowd ready for a
Super Bowl run. They were rested and
seemingly more than ready to tackle a
Titans team that had been fighting for
its postseason life the past two weeks.
Instead, the Titans pounced first, and
an early 14-0 lead was mammoth in a
matchup of two teams eager to run the
football. Before intermission, the Titans
intercepted a Lamar Jackson pass to kill
an early drive, setting up one touch-
down, and then stopped him on fourth
down to set up another.
It was the perfect blend of comple-
mentary football the Titans had been
seeking all season while rarely finding.
After each fourth-and-short stop, the
offense took advantage immediately,
with Tannehill hitting a long touchdown
pass in the first half and Henry breaking
a long run in the third quarter.
The Titans’ offense kept making
plays when needed while the defensive
plan couldn’t have been much better.
The Titans mostly kept Jackson in front
of them. They didn’t let the league’s pre-
sumptive MVP beat them with his feet.
They made him do it with his arm, be-
ginning in the first half when the Ravens
fell behind by two touchdowns.
Jackson made some plays. He broke
some runs. He hit some throws. But it
wasn’t enough.
The game script was perfect for the
Titans, though. They beat the Ravens at
their own game, and in the end, it wasn’t
the Titans who looked tired. It was the
Ravens as Henry continued to run
through and around them, their season
gradually slipping away and their fans
leaving early for the exits.
Next week will bring a new road chal-
lenge, of course, but there’s one lesson
to take from Baltimore.
If the Titans can do this to the Rav-
ens, they can do it to anybody.
Titans seem unstoppable after latest upset
Gentry Estes

USA TODAY NETWORK
Titans running back Derrick Henry passes to wide receiver Corey Davis for a touchdown during the third quarter. ANDREW NELLES/TENNESSEAN.COM BALTIMORE – The Ravens’ locker
room was quiet Saturday night, save for
the shuffling of reporters’ feet and the
occasional expletive echoing from
around the corner. Earl Thomas draped
a towel over his head. Matthew Judon
likened the night to a car crash. Michael
Pierce turned away from reporters, rest-
ed his head on a shelf in his locker and
stood motionless for several seconds.
“Damn, man,” he said quietly.
Baltimore’s 2019 season wasn’t sup-
posed to end like this, in a 28-12 shel-
lacking at the hands of the sixth-seeded
Titans. For months, the Ravens had spo-
ken cautiously but confidently about
their Super Bowl aspirations. They had
the presumptive MVP at quarterback in
Lamar Jackson. They had 12 Pro Bow-
lers. Home-field advantage. A 12-game
winning streak. The stage was set per-
fectly.
And then?
“(Expletive), we got our ass whooped
today,” running back Mark Ingram said.
“For real.”
Ravens players spent the moments
after the game in something of a daze,
frustrated by their performance and be-
fuddled by how their dream season un-
raveled so quickly. Cornerback Marlon
Humphrey said it didn’t feel real.
“Even down to the clock hitting zero, I
was still like, ‘Is this really happening?’ ”
he said. “One of the guys was like, ‘This
is a dream. I’m going to wake up tomor-
row and it’s going to be Saturday and it’s
going to be game day.’ That’s kind of
what it felt like, honestly, as crazy as
that sounds.”
For Baltimore, it wasn’t just that Sat-
urday night happened, but how. Ten-
nessee not only managed to clamp
down on the Ravens’ strengths but also
use their own identity against them.
The Ravens led the league in fourth-
down conversion rate (70.8%) during
the regular season, but they went 0-
for-4 on fourth downs against Tennes-
see. They also led the league in rushing
and had the league’s No. 5 rushing de-
fense. But the Titans held Baltimore
running backs to 42 yards on just nine
carries, while Derrick Henry bulldozed
his way to a 195-yard performance.
“We just got out of our element a little
too fast, you know, trying to beat them
to the punch,” said Jackson, who fin-
ished with 143 rushing yards on 20 car-
ries.
Ravens players admitted it was a bit
strange to be playing from behind after
falling to a 14-0 deficit early in the sec-
ond quarter, as they had grown accus-
tomed to jumping out to comfortable
leads. They also hadn’t played a truly
meaningful game in three weeks after
resting many of their veterans and stars,
including Jackson, in Week 17 – a stark
contrast to the Titans, who have been
fighting to prolong their season for near-
ly a month now.
That dichotomy, and a host of
dropped passes and uncharacteristic
penalties, prompted questions about
rust. Is it possible Baltimore’s reward for
a 14-2 season ultimately contributed to
its downfall? Did the Ravens get too
much rest?
“I don’t have that answer. It’s unan-
swerable,” coach John Harbaugh said.
“Our guys practiced really hard and did
the best they could, but we didn’t play a
sharp football game, for sure. What
should you attribute that to? I guess you
can theorize a lot of different things.”
The Ravens will have a long offseason
in which to contemplate that question,
and otherwise wonder how they let this
opportunity slip away. Humphrey said
they’ll also need to confront what he
called “the hard truth” about who
they’ve become.
“I think this team’s identity right now
is get in the playoffs and choke,” he said.
“It is what it is.”
Of course, the Ravens also still have
plenty to be proud of, and much to look
forward to. Their star quarterback is
only days removed from his 23rd birth-
day, and he has a strong young core
around him. Five of Baltimore’s 12 Pro
Bowl honorees are 25 or younger, not
counting other promising pieces like
wide receiver Marquise Brown and of-
fensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr.
There’s also consistency at head
coach with Harbaugh, and in the front
office, with general manager Eric De-
Costa. And the Ravens figure to bring
back both offensive coordinator Greg
Roman and defensive coordinator Wink
Martindale, who each interviewed for
head coaching jobs.
“Once the Super Bowl ends, everyone
is 0-0 again,” Orlando Brown Jr. said.
In time, the Ravens will likely come to
view their 2019 season in a more com-
plete way, to take the positive of the reg-
ular season hand-in-hand with the dis-
appointment of Saturday night. But for
now, it’s still fresh. It will take time for
the shock to wear off.
“You don’t ever expect to get into a
car crash until you get into a car crash,
and I feel like that’s what it is,” Judon
said. “We were riding. We were rolling
hot. And it hit us.”
Ravens’ dream season astonishingly crumbles

ATTACHMENT D (1) – LEVEL OF EXPERTISE (LE) Demonstration
Level of Expertise #1: GOVERNMENT EXPERTISE: Our team is dedicated to working with governments as they implement procurement through an online store. Our Public Sector team that includes a former White House senior procurement executive, a former State CPO, and the CPO from one of the largest counties in the US—understands the unique needs of government procurement.
Documented Performance: Our Project Manager has successfully launched and administered a public sector contract with OMNIA, helping customers meet their public procurement policies through a dynamic online store. We currently serve more than 18 states and over half of the 100 most populous local governments. In her previous role as State CPO, our State strategist saved $100 million in her first year, conducted 40 reverse auctions, and streamlined the RFP process, reducing cycle time by a third. Our Government team appreciates the importance of change management when introducing new procurement methods, and this perspective will benefit Utah as you transition to this dynamic procurement model. A state CPO who recently onboarded with us said, “We always look for ways to make our processes more efficient, and save money for the State of Connecticut. We started working with [redacted] to give our agencies the familiar buying experience they use at home, but with the open, fair, and transparent process we need for state government. [Redacted]’s tools tailored for the needs of government customers was a great fit for us, and they had us up and running in 2 months with their onboarding assistance – it was the easiest implementation we’ve ever had.” Carol Wilson, Chief Procurement Officer – State of Connecticut
Level of Expertise #2: DYNAMIC eCOMMERCE EXPERTISE: We offer a transparent buying experience with hundreds of millions of products from hundreds of thousands of business sellers, and we have dedicated customer support to serve our customers.
Documented Performance: We are proud to serve millions of customers, including governments like the State of Oklahoma, the US Department of Homeland Security, and King County, Washington, along with hundreds of thousands of business sellers around the world with more than $10 billion in annualized sales. We offer access to nearly 150,000 US business sellers and hundreds of millions of products. This results in the selection, convenience, and low prices that delight our government customers.
CONFIDENTIAL
THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE DISCLOSED WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE OFFEROR.
Level of Expertise #3: EDUCATION EXPERTISE: In addition to our Government team, we have a team dedicated to Education customers. As a result, we have the personnel with expertise to effectively serve not only the government entities that may use the awarded contract, but also the school districts and higher education institutions. Our teams work together for a seamless customer experience.
Documented Performance: In the US, we serve nearly 80% of the 100 largest enrollment education organizations, including a large school district in Utah with over 50,000 students. By using our online store, this large Utah school district enjoys increased account visibility, operational efficiencies, and cost savings. The District Procurement Manager commented that our annual membership program “makes everybody’s life so easy and reinforces good purchasing practices.” He also stated, “Teachers buy just what they need, without adding extras, because they’re getting free, two-day shipping with any order. That saves a lot of money that can be put right back into the classroom.”
Level of Expertise #4: BROAD SELECTION: We offer a vast selection of business supplies from brands you know and trust.
Documented Performance: We have hundreds of millions of items across multiple business- related categories, including 1,100 items across five spend segments identified as business essential items, which have increased inventory and availability. Customers can activate recurring delivery for frequently purchased items so they never run out of stock. In addition, customers can create reorder lists for these items to minimize manual procurement effort. A ranking by Apruve, Inc. of 60 office supplies distributors—based on online user experience, B2B features, and marketing techniques—rated us number 1.
Level of Expertise #5: PROCUREMENT CONTROL: We understand government customers need controls in an online store to ensure adherence to their procurement requirements. We offer a variety of features for customers to gain oversight and management of spending across the organization. We also have a feature to allow customers to block any company who is listed on the federal SAM debarred company list.
We have classified tens of millions of products into UNSPSC codes, which allow customers to curate their experience with us according to their procurement policies.
Documented Performance: We offer a variety of features for our customers to use, including: (1) tax-exempt purchasing for qualified organizations; (2) the ability to establish

approval workflows before purchase; (3) the ability to guide buyers to appropriate purchases according to their policies, including restricting product categories (e.g., IT and Office Furniture), or preferring certain suppliers or products; and (4) spend reports to give you real- time data on spending across your state that includes more than 50 detailed data points like price paid, number of units purchased, and detailed product information.
ATTACHMENT D (2) – RISK ASSESSMENT (RA) PLAN
The Risk Assessment Plan should address the possible risks that the Offeror does NOT control when taking on this project. The descriptions should demonstrate the risks Offeror has encountered in similar projects, the solution to that risk, and the Offeror’s documented performance with its solution including effects on the overall budget and timeli nes of the project.
The risks should be prioritized (list the greatest risks first). The Offeror may add or delete Risk table templates, but do not exceed the 2-page limit for this section.
Risk #1 Description: An online store includes 3rd party sellers that offer products at market prices, which are subject to change. Product offerings and prices may fluctuate, so there is no guarantee that items that may have been purchased will be available in the future or at the same or lower price. 3rd party sellers may also manage returns, customer service inquiries, and fulfillment.
Solution: We have hundreds of thousands of business sellers globally, with more than 150,000 in the US, offering hundreds of millions of products to provide selection for our customers. We have a program that protects our customers when they purchase items sold and fulfilled by a third-party seller to cover both the timely delivery and the condition of the items, and provide functionality for customers to search for sellers that fulfil their diversity requirements (minority, women-owned, etc)
Documented Performance with Solution to Risk #1: A dynamic online store offers real-time competition with wide selection and purchasing efficiencies, driving total value benefits for our customers. It also provides access to the latest technologies and products, as well as options to help public sector customers wanting to direct spending to diverse sellers.
Risk #2 Description: We don’t offer consolidated invoices.
Solution: We do not currently offer a ‘Master Invoice Summary’ as a separate document.
Invoices are at the purchase level if all items ship within 5 days of the purchase date. However, we do provide real-time reporting of over 70 different transactional attributes. Once items are shipped, we send a copy of the invoice by email or via cXML integration. Customers can click on ‘View Invoice’ to see details on the invoice. We also accept procurement cards as a

payment method.
Documented Performance with Solution to Risk #2: We are evaluating other potential consolidation-related features including periodic (e.g., monthly) invoicing and PO-level consolidated invoicing.
CONFIDENTIAL
THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE DISCLOSED WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE OFFEROR.
ATTACHMENT D (3) – VALUE ADDED (VA) ITEMS
The Value-Added Items should identify any value-added options or ideas that may benefit the project. The value-added items should be prioritized (identify the most important claims first) and should provide examples of value added options that Offeror has implemented in other similar projects and the documented performance of each value-added item. The Offeror may add or delete Value Added Claim table templates, but do not exceed the 2-page limit for this section.
Value Added Item #1: Membership Program
How will this add value? Our membership program provides the customer access to (1) enhanced guided buying (the ability to guide buyers to certain products or sellers as well as restrict certain categories of spend); (2) enhanced spend visibility; and (3) unlimited free, 2-day shipping for over 100 million items and free same-day delivery or one-day shipping on eligible orders and (4) progressive discounts to ensure that customers buying large quantities of goods get the best price possible.
Documented Performance: Our membership program includes a data visualization tool (similar to Tableau, Quicksite, etc.). One customer has commented that “reporting on expenses used to be a time consuming, manual process. Now, we can evaluate spend data in near real -time and use as building blocks to prevent rogue spending. This has been just a huge, huge win.” Cost Impact (%): We offer a Public Sector price plan for Government, Education, and Nonprofit customers at $3,499 per year (vs. $10,999 for other business customers) which also provides unlimited shipping for everyone on the account.
Schedule Impact (%): 68%
Value Added Item #2: Enhanced Guided Buying
How will this add value? Enhanced Guided Buying enables organizations to set their procurement preferences and create a tailored purchasing experience for their buyers, making it easy to adhere to an organization’s policies. It creates buying efficiency by “guiding” end users to approved products and reduces approval burdens with restricted product categories. The Admin can create policies with multiple attributes such as restricting a category such as IT and Furniture with a spend limit that triggers an approval workflow.
Documented Performance: Some of our government customers currently use this feature to restrict product categories that are available on their cooperative contracts. Other customers use this feature to direct spending to specified small, diverse, and local sellers.
Cost Impact (%): Guided Buying is a feature within our membership program. Schedule Impact (%): n/a
CONFIDENTIAL
THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE DISCLOSED WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE OFFEROR.
Value Added Item #3: Punchout (Procurement Provider Integration) Benefits How will this add value? Integrating your e-procurement system with your suppliers’ catalogs helps to automate your procure-to-pay process and purchases within your e-procurement system.
Documented Performance: Integration streamlines the buying experience, eliminates paper-based processes, increases adherence to procurement policies, uses existing approval workflows, and reduces order cycle time. We integrate with over 90 e-procurement systems.
Cost Impact (%): There is no additional cost at this time. Schedule Impact (%): n/a
Value Added Item #4: Pay by Invoice (PBI)
How will this add value? PBI allows customers upon credit approval to improve cash flow by extending payment to 30 days past date of shipment.
Documented Performance: Our customers can pay for products using purchasing cards, PBI, or purchase order. Receiving credit or payment terms from businesses improves cash flow.
Longer terms free up capital for day-to-day operations. Customers also gain control from payment terms, as they pay only when the goods are received and verified.
Cost Impact (%): There is no additional cost at this time. Schedule Impact (%): n/a
Value Added Item #5: Shopping lists for easy re-ordering How will this add value? Administrators and requisitioners can create lists of items with or without quantities to create efficiencies in re-ordering items when supplies need to be replenished. These lists can be shared with other users and edited or deleted at any time.
Documented Performance: Our customers like the simplicity created by this easy re- ordering process.
Cost Impact (%): There is no additional cost at this time. Schedule Impact (%): n/a
Attachment E – Marketing/Education Plan
Currently, we have five sales offices in the United States (Seattle, Boston, Detroit, Austin, Washington, D.C.) but we have the capability to serve public sector customers in all 50 states. We have a separate contractual relationship with OMNIA similar to the one proposed here and have successfully marketed, administered, and grown that contract for its use by thousands of customers. We will develop a similar go-to-market plan for this contract, which will include the following activities:
1) We will add this contract to our web-based cooperative homepage for the purpose of promoting its compliance offerings and on-boarding existing customers. The homepage will have a registration flow that will include a link for existing customers to utilize this contract.
2) We will proactively send email campaigns to relevant prospective and existing customers following the contract launch.
3) We will add this contract to our existing training program for our public sector sales force personnel to describe the benefits of this contract as well as the difference between it and other available contracts. We will also ensure that all public sector sales force personnel have completed such training within 90 days of contract launch. Thereafter, all new public sector sales force personnel will receive this training during new hire orientation.
4) We will attend several procurement events targeted at education and government agencies in an effort to reach thousands of purchasing administrators, buying influencers, and buying decision makers. For example, we regularly attend 7 national events including NASPO Exchange, NASCA, ASBO, NAEP, NACUBO, FETC, and NIGP Annual Meetings. We also attended or plan to attend more than 20 local, state, and regional conferences.
5) We will work to create a one-page marketing collateral document demonstrating the benefits of the agreement for use by our public sector sales force personnel.
6) We will meet with any associated cooperative’s marketing team to discuss promotions and other campaigns and identify plans and opportunities to push activities out to Participating Public Agencies and webpage visitors.
7) We will support any associated cooperative’s comprehensive marketing plan in support of the Agreement.
8) We will hold regular business reviews with key contract administrators and cooperative stakeholders to report on progress with contract adoption, marketing initiatives, and potential areas of concern.
Award Justification Statement
Statewide Solicitation #MG20-81
Contract Name: Online Marketplace
Awarded: 03/12/2020
I. S
ummary
The evaluation committee determined that the proposals submitted by the following vendors (in alphabetical order) met the required point thresholds and provide the best value for Online Marketplaces:
Am
azon.com Services LLC, CDW Government LLC, Office Depot Inc, The Chariot Group LLC, W.W. Grainger Inc.
II. Ev
aluation Process
Proposals were evaluated in accordance with Part 7 of the Utah Procurement Code by an Evaluation Committee comprised of representatives from the Utah Division of Purchasing, the City of West Jordan, the City of Murray, and Utah County. Solicitation number #MG20-81 was assigned to this solicitation. A representative from State Purchasing attended the evaluation committee meetings to ensure that the process outlined in the Procurement Code was followed, but was not a voting member of the evaluation committee.
A Best Value (BV) solicitation was issued by the State to enter into a State Cooperative contract with vendors to provide Office and School Supplies Marketplace to any eligible user defined in the BV, and any other State affiliated agencies, Cities, Counties, etc. The main goals of this solicitation are to procure Office and School Supplies through an online marketplace outlined above. Under Utah Code 63G-6a-702(2), the BV process was used because criteria other than costs were considered important in determining which proposal provides the best value to the State. These other factors (other than cost) were highly significant in determining which vendor’s proposal provided the best value to the State.
Following an evaluation of the mandatory minimum requirements (Stage I of the evaluation) identified in the BV, 9 vendors were deemed eligible to proceed to Stage 2: Technical Proposal Evaluation. Of these 9 vendors, 5 vendors met or exceeded the minimum technical score thresholds. These 5 vendors were eligible to proceed to the Stage 3: Cost Proposal Evaluation. The following section describes Stage 2 and Stage 3 of the evaluation process. Vendors A, B, C, and D did not meet the technical score threshold and were deemed non-responsive in order to move on to the cost stage.
III. Stage 2 and 3 – Technical Criteria and Cost Evaluation In Stage 2, proposals were evaluated against 3 criteria that were picked to show the vendors expertise within the criteria desired in this solicitation. These criteria asked Offerors to provide or were evaluated on the following: Level of Expertise (Criteria 1), Risk Assessment Plan (Criteria 2), Value Added Services (Criteria 3), and Marketing Plan (Criteria 4).
The Evaluation Committee subjectively assigned points for each criteria based on the vendors’ responses. Only the Technical criteria was assigned a weight threshold. A Total Technical Points threshold was established and set at 425 points. Offerors needed to match or exceed the threshold in order move on to the Stage 3 cost evaluation.
In Stage 3 of the evaluation, Offerors were asked to provide cost based on a list of items within the solicitation. The Offeror with the lowest Cost Point Ratio set the baseline ratio to be awarded a contract. Any Offeror whose Cost Point Ratio was within 300% of the lowest Cost Point Ratio was also awarded.
To
tal Cost was computed by adding up the proposed cost for all the items in the Items section of the solicitation. The formula to compute the Cost Point Ratio is: Total Cost/Technical Points = Cost Point Ratio.

We and you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.

All other provisions in the Agreement remain in full force and effect.

This RFP and resulting contract award(s) is a solutions-based solicitation, meaning the State of Utah is seeking equipment, products, and/or services that meet the requirements of this RFP and that are commonly desired or are required by law or industry standards. The State is looking to have one or multiple online marketplaces that are able to provide a diverse range of transactional items that could be used in and for an office, school, and/or other settings. Offerors may submit for one, all, or a combination of the following categories: Education-Based Accessories, Display, Products, and Related Supplies; Information Technology Peripheral Devices and Related Products; Maintenance, Repair and Operation Products; and Office-Based Accessories, Décor, Products, and Related Supplies. When submitting for one or more categories, Offerors may subcontract items . Offerors may include related solutions that are complementary to the categories and items identified in this RFP.
Given the cooperative nature of this RFP, it is expected that offerors shall propose a wide array of equipment, products, and/or services at lower prices and with better value than what they would ordinarily offer to the public or to a single government entity.
Background of the Conducting Procurement Unit
Online Marketplace
The State of Utah has identified the need to have a digital marketplace in order to provide the State and its entities the best prices. In previous years, the State of Utah had a contract for office supplies that was based on an established discount from list price. In wanting to determine if the discount from list price offers the best value to the State of Utah, a digital marketplace for office and schools supplies was obtained which utilized a more dynamic pricing model.
The State of Utah is now seeking an Online Digital Marketplace Solution across specific categories that offers a more dynamic pricing structure to ensure the State and its entities are continually receiving the best value. Under a dynamic pricing model, the State of Utah anticipates that the market establishes the best value and the State will not need to amend the contract when the market goes up or down. Additionally, by extending this contract nationwide, the benefits of this contract are not limited to the State of Utah. Presently, many public and non-profit entities utilize online marketplaces. By offering Participating Public Agencies the ability to utilize the resultant contract(s), agencies can lower costs through reducing procurement expenses, improve their compliance and reporting, and potentially support a wider range of diverse suppliers.
National Contract
The State of Utah, as the Principal Procurement Agency, defined in Attachment G, has partnered with OMNIA Partners, Public Sector (“OMNIA Partners”) to make the resultant contract (also known as the “Master Agreement” in materials distributed by 08 January 202008 January 2020
OMNIA Partners) from this solicitation available to other public agencies nationally, including state and local governmental entities, public and private primary, secondary and higher education entities, non-profit entities, and agencies for the public benefit (“Public Agencies”), through OMNIA Partners’ cooperative purchasing program. The State of Utah is acting as the contracting agency for any other Public Agency that elects to utilize the resulting Master Agreement. Use of the Master Agreement by any Public Agency is preceded by their registration with OMNIA Partners (a “Participating Public Agency”) and by using the Master Agreement, any such Participating Public Agency agrees that it is registered with OMNIA Partners, whether pursuant to the terms of a Master Intergovernmental Purchasing Cooperative Agreement, a form of which is attached hereto on Attachment G, or as otherwise agreed to. Attachment G contains additional information about OMNIA Partners and the cooperative purchasing program.
OMNIA Partners is the largest and most experienced purchasing organization for public and private sector procurement.
Through the economies of scale created by OMNIA Partners public sector subsidiaries and affiliates, National IPA and U.S.
Communities, our participants now have access to more competitively solicited and publicly awarded cooperative agreements.
The lead agency contracting process continues to be the foundation on which we are founded. OMNIA Partners is proud to offer more value and resources to state and local government, higher education, K-12 education and non-profits.
OMNIA Partners provides shared services and supply chain optimization to government, education and the private sector. With corporate, pricing and sales commitments from the Vendor, OMNIA Partners provides marketing and administrative support for the Vendor that directly promotes the Vendor’s products and services to Participating Public Agencies through multiple channels, each designed to promote specific products and services to Public Agencies on a national basis. Participating Public Agencies benefit from pricing based on aggregate spend and the convenience of a contract that has already been advertised and publicly competed. The Vendor benefits from a contract that generally allows Participating Public Agencies to directly purchase goods and services without the Vendor’s need to respond to additional competitive solicitations. As such, the Vendor must be able to accommodate a nationwide demand for services and to fulfill obligations as a nationwide Vendor and respond to the OMNIA Partners documents (Attachment G).

ATTACHMENT F – WEEKLY RISK REPORTING SYSTEM GUIDE
Overview
The Weekly Risk Reporting System (WRRS) is a companion to the Quality Control Plan that is created by the best value Offeror during the Clarification Phase. The report serves as a tool for The State in analyzing the performance of the Project based on risk. The WRRS does not substitute or eliminate weekly progress reports or any other traditional reporting systems (that the Offeror may do).
The purpose of the WRRS is to allow the Offeror to document and manage all risks that occur throughout a project. Risk is defined as anything that might impact the project scope and schedule. This includes risks that are caused by the Offeror (or entities subcontracted by the Offeror), and risks that are caused by The State (scope changes, unforeseen conditions, etc.).
The State’s Project Manager may also require the Offeror to document risks that may impact The State satisfaction.
Submission
The weekly report is an Excel file that must be submitted every week. The report is due every week once the Contract Award is issued, until the Project is 100% complete (and final payment is made). The Excel spreadsheet will be available from The State upon request.
The completed report must be saved using the date and name of the Project given by The State (Format: YYMMDD_Project Name; For example, ‘HCM Project’ for the week ending Friday, Oct 7, 2018, should be labeled ’181007_HCM Project’). Weekly Reports are to be emailed by Monday.
The weekly risk report consists of reporting the project performance metrics, scope changes or unforeseen events that are risks to the project in terms of scope and deviations, or The State satisfaction including any risks that could potentially develop into an issue. When a new risk is identified, it is added to the risk log, along with the following: Identification date (date the risk was identified), likelihood, impact, response plan for high risks which would include resolution due date.
When a risk has become an issue, it is added to a project deviations log, along with the following: Identification date (date the issue was identified), plan to resolve issue, resolution due date, impact to critical path or schedule (in days), and impact to final price (in dollars).
As risks o r issues arise that warrant attention, the Offeror should not wait to submit the risk report. The Offeror must contact The State if there are any risks or potential risks identified that are or could be rated at a high level. The Offeror is also required to provide a satisfaction rating based on the identified risk or issue and their plan to mitigate the risk. The rating is based on a scale of 1-10 (10 being completely satisfied and 1 being completely dissatisfied). The Offeror may modify its satisfaction ratings at any time throughout the Project. When a risk is eliminated or and issue is resolved, the actual date of elimination or resolution must be listed.
The State will analyze the reports for accuracy and timeliness. The reports will be used in part by The State to determine the overall final performance rating of the Offeror (and its team).

C. 271 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION DISCLOSURE FORM
Public Agency Instructions
This page provides guidance to public agencies entering into contracts with business entities that are required to file Political Contribution Disclosure forms with the agency. It is not intended to be provided to contractors. What follows are instructions on the use of form local units can provide to contractors that are required to disclose political contributions pursuant to N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26 (P.L. 2005, c. 271, s.2). Additional information on the process is available in Local Finance Notice 2006 -1 ( http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/resources/lfns_2006.html). Please refer back to these instructions for the appropriate links, as the Local Finance Notices include links that are no longer operational.
1. The disclosure is required for all contracts in excess of $17,500 that are not awarded pursuant to a “fair and open” process (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.7).
2. Due to the potential length of some contractor submissions, the public agency should consider allowing data to be submitted in electronic form (i.e., spreadsheet, pdf file, etc.). Submissions must be kept with the contract documents or in an appropriate computer file and be available for public access. The form is worded to accept this alternate submission. The text should be amended if electronic submission will not be allowed.
3. The submission must be received from the contractor and on file at least 10 days prior to award of the contract.
Resolutions of award should reflect that the disclosure has been received and is on file.
4. The contractor must disclose contributions made to candidate and party committees covering a wide range of public agencies, including all public agencies that have elected officials in the county of the public agency, state legislative positions, and various state entities. The Division of Local Government Services recommends that contr actors be provided a list of the affected agencies. This will assist contractors in determining the campaign and political committees of the officials and candidates affected by the disclosure. a. The Division has prepared model disclosure forms for each county. They can be downloaded from the “County PCD Forms” link on the Pay -to-Play web site at http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/programs/lpcl.html#12 .
They will be updated from time-to-time as necessary.
b. A public agency using these forms should edit them to properly reflect the correct legislative district(s). As the forms are county-based, they list all legislative districts in each county. Districts that do not represent the public agency should be removed from the lists.
c. Some contractors may find it easier to provide a single list that covers all contributions, regardless of the county.
These submissions are appropriate and should be accepted. d. The form may be used “as-is”, subject to edits as described herein. e. The “Contractor Instructions” sheet is intended to be provided with the form. It is recommended that the Instructions and the form be printed on the same piece of paper. The form notes that the Instructions are printed on the back of the form; where that is not the case, the text should be edited accordingly. f. The form is a Word document and can be edited to meet local needs, and posted for download on web sites, used as an e-mail attachment, or provided as a printed document.
5. It is recommended that the contractor also complete a “Stockholder Disclosure Certification.” This will assist the local unit in its obligation to ensure that contractor did not make any prohibited contributions to the committees listed on the Business Entity Disclosure Certification in the 12 months prior to the contract (See Local Finance Notice 2006-7 for additional information on this obligation at http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/resources/lfns_2006.html). A sample Certification form is part of this package and the instruction to complete it is included in the Contractor Instructions. NOTE: This section is not applicable to Boards of Education.
