I (B). FOOD DELIVERY

GOAL: To begin using an electronic signature platform for vendor agreements and applications.

METHODOLOGY: The Vendor Manager will research external platforms as well as continue to work with the Crossroads contractor to assess the best method to distribute documents, have vendors sign electronically, and receive and store documents without the need for paper mailings.

EVALUATION: Once the electronic platform has been decided upon, the Vendor Management Unit will assess the timeliness and ease of distributing and receiving documents and will poll vendors for feedback.

STATUS: Docusign was chosen as the electronic platform. The pilot was successfully conducted in January 2023, and the rollout is continuing as each region renews its agreements. Currently, the vendor unit is working to complete two additional regions in FY 2024. At the beginning of FY 2025, seven of eight agencies will be converted, with the last agency scheduled for conversion in June 2025.

This goal is ongoing for FY 2025.
