Minimizes duplication of effort for suppliers by consolidating the certification forms that can be used by both GDOT and DOAS; Enables suppliers to certify with two entities, DOAS and GDOT; Provides suppliers that certify with greater exposure to larger companies by listing on both the DOAS list of certified minority businesses and the GDOT list of disadvantaged business enterprises; Provides suppliers greater exposure to government procurement staff seeking minority suppliers to extend bid opportunities; and Allows access to Federal GDOT programs intended to increase participation of small, minority and woman-owned businesses; Aligns certified minority subcontractors with Georgia corporations desiring to earn tax credits authorized through O.C.G.A. 48-7-38.
Suppliers can expect an evaluation period of 60 to 90 days. The certification process is very thorough and includes scheduled site visits, information exchange, document reviews, and transactions via the U. S. Postal Service.
There is no cost to suppliers to apply for Minority Business Enterprise, Minority Subcontractor, or Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Certification.
The DBE/MBE certification process has been streamlined into an annual review process. Once a supplier becomes DBE and MBE certified, they maintain eligibility by submitting an annual affidavit to GDOT.
Woman-owned businesses are not considered minority businesses in the State of Georgia. Georgia bases minority standing on ethnicity, not gender. The State of Georgia recognizes five minority groups: Asian American, Native American, African American, Hispanic/Latino and Pacific Islander.
The process for certifying as a Minority Business Enterprise pursuant to OCGA 50-5-130 and as a Minority Subcontractor pursuant to OCGA 48-7-38 with the Georgia Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has been streamlined. It now involves using the Georgia Department of Transportation's (GDOT) certification application and personal net worth affidavit as the central certification forms. This will result in dual certification with both DOAS and DOT.

The NIGP Code is a type of Standard Industry Code (SIC). It is highly recommended that bidders and suppliers carefully select the NIGP commodity codes that most accurately reflect the goods and services provided by their company. Your company’s contacts will be sent bid invitations for those events matching the specified NIGP codes on the company profile.
You may change your NIGP Codes by logging in and going to the area where you maintain your contact information. If you don't find an exact match to the goods that your company supplies, choose the closest NIGP Code. If you are a Bidder, log into Team Georgia MarketplaceTM and click on "My Bidder Profile." If you are a Supplier, log into Team Georgia Marketplace and look under "Maintain Supplier Information."

DOAS currently offers two self-audit courses - one for Procurement Compliance reviews and another for Purchasing Card reviews - structured for APOs/CUPOs, buyers, and Purchasing Card Administrators, Coordinators and Cardholders. The classes teach state entities how to conduct audits using State Purchasing tools and practices. The “How to Conduct a Self-Audit (Purchasing Card)” course is optional, while the “How to Conduct a Self-Audit (Compliance)” is mandatory for basic Georgia certification. However, both courses are conducted to ensure that performance is consistent throughout the state. Review upcoming SPD training events.

Statewide Contracts are established by State Purchasing for the benefit of government entities throughout Georgia. By leveraging state purchasing power, a variety of high-quality goods and services are provided conveniently at below market rates. Contracts are for a wide range of commodities such as office furniture, natural gas and ammunition. See the Statewide Contract Index web site to learn what goods and services are currently contracted to Georgia government.
Once a contract has been established, no vendors can be added to it. If and when the contract comes up for rebid, you would want to respond to the open solicitation and become one of the awarded suppliers. In the meantime, you can check our Statewide Contract (SWC) Index at http://doas.ga.gov/StateLocal/SPD/Pages/StatewideContractIndex.aspx to see what goods and services are currently contracted to Georgia government.
You can find all of SPD's forms and documents here. Use the keyword finder and filters on the left to limit your search and find the exact document you need.

If you are a sourcing bidder adding a contact, you will be creating a User ID for the new contact. The system will generate a password to the address that you enter for the contact; however, you must share the User ID with that person because it will not be sent to the address. If you are a supplier adding a contact, the contact will receive sourcing event information, but will not be able to get into the system.

A sourcing bidder is a company that provides goods or services, but has never had a purchase order, received a remittance, or been awarded a contract by the State of Georgia. Your company may fit into this category even if it is active in our current Vendor Registration System. When bidders register, they input their information into Team Georgia Marketplace™ and the system generates a password that is sent to their email address. A supplier is a company that has had a purchase order, received a remittance, or has been awarded a contract by the State of Georgia. A company in this category will have a PeopleSoft vendor number in our financials system. When a supplier registers in Team Georgia Marketplace™, the information (which is already in our financial system) links to their Tax Identification Number. Once registered, a supplier may modify and update the existing information.
You can register from your own computer, online.
