Common use of MFMP Transaction Fee Clause in Contracts

MFMP Transaction Fee. a. The State through the Department of Management Services (DMS), has instituted MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP), a statewide e-procurement system. Pursuant to Section 287.057(22)(c), F.S., all payments shall be assessed a Transaction Fee which the Contractor shall pay the State unless exempt pursuant to Rule 60A-1.031, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). b. For payments within the State accounting system (FLAIR or its successor), the Transaction Fee shall, when possible, be automatically deducted from payments to the Contractor. If automatic deduction is not possible, the Contractor shall pay the Transaction Fee pursuant to Rule 60A-1.031, F.A.C. By submission of these reports and corresponding payments, the Contractor certifies their correctness. All such reports and payments shall be subject to audit by the State or its designee. c. Contractor shall receive a credit for any Transaction Fee paid by the Contractor for the purchase of any item(s) if such item(s) is/are returned to the Contractor through no fault, act, or omission of the Contractor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Transaction Fee is non-refundable when an item is rejected, returned, or declined, due to the Contractor’s failure to perform or comply with specifications or requirements of this Contract. d. Failure to comply with these requirements shall constitute grounds for declaring the Contractor in default and recovering re-procurement costs from the Contractor in addition to all outstanding fees. CONTRACTORS THAT ARE DELINQUENT IN PAYING TRANSACTION FEES MAY BE EXCLUDED FROM CONDUCTING FUTURE BUSINESS WITH THE STATE.
