It is essential that state policy makers show strong leadership in reducing the cost of government at a time when the State of Alaska is facing a fiscal gap. The procurement pilot program provides an opportunity to address the fiscal condition of the state in a way that does not reduce program delivery. The procurement pilot program will reduce the costs associated with procurement and supply 2004-04-22 Senate Journal Page 3014 chain management, which are significant areas of the state's administrative costs and represent an area of potentially substantial cost savings in the future. As a basic administrative function, procurement and supply management represent appropriate opportunities for achieving cost savings through the use of process management specialists from the private sector and, when combined with electronic commerce tools, offer opportunities to reduce the amount of back-office overhead resources required to requisition, procure, and otherwise administer the acquisition of goods and services, as well as to reduce the actual costs of goods and services. Given the early indications of large potential cost savings to the state from the procurement pilot program, the legislature encourages the executive branch to actively pursue full implementation authorized by ch. 51, SLA 2003."
