$1 Billion in Spend! $223 Million Saved! By Bruce Beardsley, COSTARS Marketing Manager

During fiscal year (FY) 2014 (7/1/14-6/30/15), COSTARS members spent more than $1 billion using COSTARS-exclusive and statewide contracts – an increase of almost 9 percent over FY 2013! At the same time, members saved their constituents more than $223 million! While use of COSTARS-exclusive contracts increased 2.2 percent, COSTARS members’ use of Pennsylvania statewide contracts (popularly known as “piggy-backing”) surged 18 percent. More than $560 million in sales were generated by COSTARS-exclusive contracts and more than $457 million was spent using statewide contracts. For the first time, municipal governments’ share of the total COSTARS spend surpassed the spending of schools, including public and non-profit private schools (27.8 percent vs. 26.5 percent). Colleges represent 16.7 percent of total spend (see chart). Schools dominated the spending on COSTARS-28 Energy Conservation Management Supplies, COSTARS-29 Grounds Keeping (Grounds/Turf Maintenance), and COSTARS-34 Theatre (Auditorium) Furniture, Fixtures, Audio/Visual Equipment and Musical Instruments contracts. Municipal governments spent the most on the COSTARS-24 Traffic Signs, COSTARS-38 Heavy Equipment Rental (a brand new contract), and COSTARS-33 Street Lighting, Parking Meters and Street Furniture contracts. Colleges were the main users of the COSTARS-20 Laboratory Supplies contract, while county governments were the leading buyers on the COSTARS-7 Foods and COSTARS-10 Voting Systems contracts. Despite declining by 10 percent, COSTARS-3 IT Hardware remains the largest COSTARS-exclusive contract - as it has since the beginning of the program - with sales in excess of $206 million. It also has the largest number of authorized suppliers (215). COSTARS-25 Municipal Work Vehicles increased 14.5 percent to almost $114.7 million. COSTARS-15 Water and Wastewater Treatment Consumables experienced the largest growth – from $50,243 to $749,334, an increase of 1,391 percent! Among other COSTARS-exclusive contracts experiencing substantial growth were COSTARS-16 Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant–Components/Equipment, COSTARS-28 Energy Conservation Management Supplies, and COSTARS-24 Traffic Signs.

$1 Billion in Spend! $220 Million Saved! Continued from page 1

Among statewide contracts, the most heavily used contracts were Wireless Communication Services (Voice and Data), Sodium Chloride (Bulk Road Salt), Construction/Heavy-Duty Type Power Equipment, and Agricultural/Grounds-Keeping Type Power Equipment, all of which increased usage compared to FY 2013. During FY 2014, 1,381 suppliers held COSTARS-exclusive contracts – an increase of 6 percent from the year before. The average COSTARS contract-authorized supplier reported just under $405,608 in sales to COSTARS members. The average IT Hardware supplier generated COSTARS sales of $955,187; Laboratory Supplies vendors ranked second with average sales of $930,839, followed by Food vendors with $604,506. Of the $223 million in savings, $167.8 million reflected product/service discounts and $55 million was saved by public entities by not having to go through the formal bidding process since the commonwealth has already done that (process savings). The use of COSTARS-exclusive contracts resulted in 53.4 percent of the total savings, while 46.6 percent comes from the “piggy-back” use of statewide contracts. Commodities offering the largest average discounts through the COSTARS program included small package delivery, tires, and furniture. The entire COSTARS program generated 123,897 transactions, of which 86.3 percent were below the $19,400 bidding threshold, reflecting the use of the program by members even when there is no substantial process savings to be realized. Members with the largest COSTARS spend were Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission ($11,476,157), City of Philadelphia ($9,454,011), The Pennsylvania State University ($8,075,327), and Allegheny County government ($7,943,701). Allegheny County has the most COSTARS members (682)(statewide average is 122 members per county) and the most COSTARS spend ($71,582,116)(statewide average is $11.7 million). Montour County has the highest spend per member ($184,659) (statewide average is $95,677 per member, an increase of 3.9 percent). Approximately 60 percent of the 8,200 registered COSTARS members purchased through the program in FY 2014.

Missed Opportunities? By Claire Osborne, COSTARS Marketing Manager

In FY 2014, the COSTARS program saved its members more than $223 million in transactional and commodity savings and generated a record $1 billion in sales (see article on page 1). However, there are some COSTARS contracts that are not being utilized to their fullest potential. COSTARS -21 Pest Control offers a wide scope to our membership including General Indoor and Outdoor Pest and Rodent Control, Termite Control and Fumigation Services. COSTARS is looking to add new suppliers to this contract to generate greater competition and increased geographic coverage to help protect our members from the risks and damages involved in pest infestation. To be eligible for this contract, the supplier must possess and maintain a valid Pesticide Application Business License Certificate issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and must provide proof of appropriate insurance. Please see the bid package for more details at http://www.emarketplace.state.pa.us/FileDownload.aspx?file=COSTARS-21%20REBID/Solicitation_0.pdf. COSTARS-24 Traffic Signs only generated $21,685 in sales so far this fiscal year. This contract offers a scope of Chevrons, Do Not Enter Signs, Emergency Parking Only Signs, Left Curve Ahead Signs, No Parking Signs, No Turn on Red Signs, Railroad Warning Signs, Right Curve Signs, Right Turn Signs, Speed Limit Signs, Stop Signs, Street Name Signs, and Weight Limit Signs. COSTARS-24 is a valuable source to save money while maintaining and upgrading traffic signs to adhere to the minimum reflectivity regulations of road signs mandated by the Federal Highway Administration. All products on this contract are in compliance with PennDOT requirements and the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control devices from the Federal Highway Administration. To view this contract, please visit the COSTARS website at www.costars.state.pa.us and select the Local Government and Schools tab/COSTARS (Cooperative Purchasing)/Member Information link. On the Member Information page, select the yellow Members button, then on the Member’s Area page, select the Search Contracts/COSTARS Contracts link on the left-hand side of the page, then select 24-Traffic Signs from the Contract drop-down box and select Search. A list of authorized suppliers will be displayed. Select the icon under the Contract Overview column to view the contract. Please see the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for more information on the new standards used by road managers to maintain traffic signs at http://www.mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/.

The COSTARS team regularly receives a variety of questions from COSTARS members and suppliers; many of them pertaining to the COSTARS program, COSTARS-exclusive contracts, and statewide contracts. Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.

COSTARS Program Frequently Asked Questions

� Are leasing and trade-ins permitted under the COSTARS-25 Municipal Work Vehicles and COSTARS-26 Passenger Vehicles contracts? Trade-Ins If a supplier wishes to accept used vehicles in trade for vehicles purchased under the contract, the supplier should submit a formal trade-in schedule or a statement of trade-in policy with its bid package as part of the options offered in the Bid Item Workbook. Please refer to the Special Terms and Conditions of the contract for more information. Leasing and Installment Purchases Suppliers may offer leasing or installment purchases under this contract and COSTARS members may, at their discretion, choose to enter into a lease or installment purchase. Please refer to the Special Terms and Conditions of the contract for more information.

� Are salt storage domes available under any COSTARS or statewide COSTARS-participating contract? Salt storage domes are not available under COSTARS-exclusive or statewide COSTARS-participating contracts. We recommend

that members follow their normal procurement requirements to purchase salt storage domes.

COSTARS-Authorized Suppliers Frequently Asked Questions

� Must a COSTARS-authorized, self-certified small business re-certify on a yearly basis? Yes, self-certified small businesses must recertify on a yearly basis.

� How does a supplier know when it is time to re-certify as a small business? As indicated on the Small Business Procurement Initiative (SBPI) Certificate, self-certification is valid for a period of one (1)

calendar year from the date of issuance. The SBPI Self-Certification Application will email the suppler thirty (30) days prior to their certification expiration with instructions for re-certifying.

� Do COSTARS suppliers receive a reminder when their annual contract renewal COSTARS administrative fee is due? Suppliers receive a renewal remittance letter 60 days before their contract is set to expire. If a supplier does not pay the fee after

30 days, they will receive a second renewal remittance reminder.

� Where can suppliers find the appropriate COSTARS fee within the renewal remittance letter? The administrative fee a supplier is required to pay for one contract year is listed on the second page of the remittance fee letter

or renewal remittance letter.

� If a supplier has a six-digit vendor number issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, does that automatically make them a COSTARS-authorized supplier?

Registering with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and obtaining a six-digit vendor number does not identify a vendor as an authorized supplier under the COSTARS Program. To become authorized as a COSTARS supplier, a vendor must bid on a COSTARS-exclusive contract and be awarded the contract, or complete the documentation included with a statewide COSTARS-participating contract, indicating that they would like to participate as a supplier in the COSTARS Program once they have been awarded the contract.

� Does a supplier have to report sales for a quarter in which they had no COSTARS sales? Yes, a supplier must still submit a sales report indicating “No Sales” were made for that quarter.

If you have questions about the COSTARS program, COSTARS-exclusive contracts, or COSTARS-participating statewide contracts, please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-866-768-7827, or via email at GS-PACostars@pa.gov for further assistance.
