Strategic sourcing is a procurement process that continuously improves and re-evaluates the purchasing activities of the State. MAGIC utilizes the Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) module to accomplish Strategic Sourcing.

Competitive procurements, such as Invitation for Bids (IFBD) and Requests for Proposals (RFPR), are called RFxs. MAGIC allows agencies to create and post RFxs, receive supplier responses, and award procurement opportunities electronically.
