About the Committee
Issue Statement: The state IT community has long been critical of IT procurement processes and practices. State CIOs assert that states must modernize state procurement laws, rules, processes and practices to align them with IT industry standards and best practices. They argue that because information technologies are extraordinarily dynamic and evolve so quickly states must streamline the procurement process to make it faster and less cumbersome - be more flexible in source selection, contract development, and duration. State CIOs have recommended the procurement process be adjusted to recognize and align with enterprise IT strategies, architecture and standards. States should leverage state buying power through coordinated procurements in order to lower prices, reduce complexity and diversity of IT and increase the visibility of purchases.
Purpose: NASCIO will continue the efforts of a joint committee with TechAmerica as our partner to focus on IT procurement reform. We may invite strategic partners including the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO), TechAmerica and the American Bar Association (ABA), to study and prepare products that recommend reforms and highlight best practices in IT procurement. Active private sector involvement and perspective is critical to the success of the committee. In addition to research and educational deliverables, the committee will have an advocacy role. A consistent message supporting the deliverables from this committee is that public procurement organizations have a duty to incubate new innovative processes that are more effective in achieving results in IT procurement.
