This document is an executive order issued by Governor Bob Taft of the State of Ohio in 2001. The order aims to strengthen the efficiency and integrity of the state's procurement process. It acknowledges the need to adopt recommendations from the Management Improvement Commission and improve the acquisition of products and services for state government. The order includes several directives for the Department of Administrative Services, such as developing a policy for independent validation and verification of procurements, implementing training for state employees involved in the procurement process, and creating a certification program for procurement professionals. The order also emphasizes the importance of following a procurement manual and encourages electronic procurement where possible. The Department of Administrative Services and the Office of Budget and Management are tasked with preparing an implementation plan for the recommendations made by the Procurement System Working Group and the Management Improvement Commission. The order also requires departments to allocate sufficient resources for procurement projects and mandates that departments use the Department of Administrative Services for purchasing unless they have specific statutory procurement authority. The executive order revokes any previous orders inconsistent with its provisions and is set to expire on Governor Taft's last day in office.
