• The fiscal condition of the state requires any opportunity to reduced state costs in a way that does not directly reduce program delivery must be actively explored;
• The costs associated with procurement and supply management are significant areas of the state's administrative cost and represent potentially substantial cost savings; and
• Procurement and supply management represent appropriate opportunities for achieving cost savings through the use of process management specialists in the private sector.
