Any business, meeting a very complex 57 page
methodology
NaFCA through their ‘Solution Summits’ has recommended
simplification of methodology

State and Local Governments
Businesses which self-register as having less than 100 employees
Some states stipulate that gross revenues can NOT exceed a certain amount (i.e., $7M,
$25M)
Characterized by a wasteful archaic and duplicative registration and certification
process
![Page 9: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Disadvantaged
Race, ethnicity and gender are simply characteristics of the
groups
Current certification process causes waste and abuse
![Page 14: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Set Aside Contracts
Established to prevent monopolies, build capacity and level the playing field in
contracting
Reserved for competition solely among small and disadvantaged businesses
![Page 15: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Set Aside Contractsare supposed to:
Established by public agencies
Determined by market research
![Page 16: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Set Aside Contracts
Regulations and Procurement Statutes are supposed to provide
guidance
Size Protests are supposed to prevent abuses and safeguard the
participation
![Page 17: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Set Aside Contracts
Penalties and their enforcement are supposed to deter abusive practices or
barriers
Specialized Education on small business issues for contracting workforce is
supposed to be available
![Page 18: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Leveling the Playing Field
Eliminating the existing ‘barriers’ or ‘abusive procurement practices’
Enforcing the Existing Laws
![Page 19: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
OUR Constitutional Model
Transparency, Technology and Elimination of barriers are the tools of this Model
Relies on alignment with statutes (i.e., 23%), goals (i.e., 5%) and measurable results
Model supported by 276 specific procurement statutes
![Page 20: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
OUR Constitutional Model
Model supported by 276 specific procurement statutes
Previous efforts were poorly justified by bureaucrats pressured by lobbyists and their legal counsel
Focused on guaranteeing “Maximum Practicable Utilization” or MPU, for its target audience
![Page 21: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
OUR Constitutional Model
Focused on guaranteeing “Maximum Practicable Utilization” or MPU, for its
target audience
Minimizes ‘race-neutral’ schemes because they do not prevent ‘disparities’
nor eliminate ‘barriers’
![Page 22: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
OUR Constitutional Model
Tracking both the businesses and contracts they receive is essential
Court challenges against ‘set-asides’ can be successfully defeated with this
model
![Page 23: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

The Florida Challenge
1,586 public entities, only 32 offer free public access
The 32 public entities have processed $9.4 Billion in contracts which still
cannot be tracked
![Page 28: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Florida Challenge
System not designed for procurement
The state currently cannot confirm how much it can spend on public
contracts
![Page 29: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Florida Challenge
An archaic and duplicative registration/certification process
prevents progress
Lack of tracking results prevents goals and objectives
![Page 30: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Florida Challenge
No centralized procurement training
Disparities abound which require costly studies to justify ‘set-asides’
![Page 31: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Florida Challenge
The racial-neutral One Florida Initiative must be either
strengthened or replaced
![Page 32: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Florida Opportunity
A proposed new Florida Procurement Portal – with a proven platform
The savings that it will create and the duplication that it will eliminate,
alone, will cover its costs
![Page 33: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Florida Opportunity
Economic development, federal and private funding are available for such
efforts
“The Portal” will create jobs, teaming arrangements and allow for replication in other states
![Page 34: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The Florida Opportunity
The Delaware Governor just unveiled a similar portal with less than 2/3 of our
features
Several Cities have announced plans for costly ‘disparity studies’ in order to
justify set-asides
![Page 35: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Florida Opportunity
The cooperation of ALL1,586 public entities in the State is badly needed
for this undertaking
![Page 36: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The Florida Opportunity
Our Lieutenant Governor, Jennifer Carroll, who is supporting our effort has said:
“The Umbrella Initiative offers actual solutions with measurable
results to a State dilemma the Governor intends to solve.”
![Page 37: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

The System TodayData fragmented, varied, individual silos
Built for the contracting agency
Missing market research capability
No centralized registration
No communication conduit
No collaboration network
No empirical award data
![Page 41: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Today – Individual SilosMultiple websites for opportunities
Every website is different
Authentication isn’t shared and must be remembered
The small business contractor burden is high
![Page 42: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Today – Agency FocusedNot designed with the contractors
needs in mind.
No “best practice” guidelines for small business.
Proper response process is mysterious
Small Businesses are lost
![Page 43: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Today – Market ResearchNo established process for
procurement strategy (e.g. Set Asides)
Market research cannot be measured
Small business is unable to influence strategy
Burden on the contracting agency is overwhelming
![Page 44: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Today – RegistrationNo central registration system
Makes empirical award data impossible
No way to communicate to the vendor community
Market research participation cannot be measured
![Page 45: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Today - CommunicationNo direct conduit between contractor
and contracting agency
Best case: summarized, advertised Q&A
Worst case: no Q&A
Result is mystery and poor results
![Page 46: How to Capture Your Share of $1 Trillion Dollars In Public Contracts Know Your Rights and Your Opportunities.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cef5503460f949be841/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Today – CollaborationLarger opportunities require effective
teams
Today - general purpose partnerships only – largely ineffective
No actionable opportunities to form meaningful teams around
No scalable, available, networking community
