Changes to the Washington Procurement Manual
The Washington State Procurement Manual helps public procurement professionals implement and manage contracts on behalf of their organizations. The tools and templates on the procurement manual help agencies and governmental entities comply with state procurement laws and policies. DES is the state’s procurement authority and updates the documents and processes as public procurement evolves.
The following items on the Washington State Procurement Manual have been updated, effective Jan. 15.
- Document name: Competitive solicitation
- Backgrounder: Competitive solicitation template
- Backgrounder: Contract template
- Backgrounder: Exhibit A – Bidder’s certification
- Exhibit E: Contract issues list
Summary of changes:
The documents are updated to show that the contract is now labeled Exhibit B. Non-cost factors (performance requirements) are labeled Exhibit D.
Reason for changes:
DES is seeing an increase in the number of posted solicitations that do not use a non-cost factor exhibit. When that happens, the templates require additional language or changes. Renaming the contract as Exhibit B reduces the necessary adjustments to the templates during solicitation drafting. If a non-cost exhibit is used, it will be labeled as the next letter.
