MFMP Commodity Code Governance
• DMS Elected to use United Nations Products and Services Classification (UNSPSC) code set
• The United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) is a hierarchical convention that is used to classify all products and services. http://www.unspsc.org
MFMP Commodity Code Governance
• New concern: size of code set– FLID code set was ~5,000 codes (at class/group level)
– Current version was UNSPSC v15 with >54,000 codes
– Limited selection of UNSPSC codes to be in MFMP commodity code set
– Activated ~9,000 codes including all commodity level services codes
– Significant limitation of commodity level goods codes
• Too specific – Live aubergine anemone
• Not consistent with strategic goals
MFMP Commodity Code Governance
• Commodity code change management process– CR 155 included governance deliverable to manage overall state
change process
• Commodity code governance group established– Part of governance included a group to review new UNSPSC releases
– Initial group was DMS State Purchasing but expanding to various departmental purchasing groups
• Major agencies: AHCA, DOH, DOC, and others
• Two primary change points for MFMP codes– Request to activate an “existing” code
– UNSPSC releases new code set
