State Purchasing Division

​​​​​​Ensuring reliable sources of goods and services at the lowest possible cost while promoting fair and open competition and small business opportunity to maximize government efficiency and compliance. ​

We are committed to providing the best value in products and services for state entities, local governments, and other customers. We promote an open and transparent procurement process, with a commitment to equal and fair competition for suppliers and bidders.

Our goal is to offer the highest quality of service, education, training, and tools to help connect suppliers and state purchasers across Georgia.

We achieve this by doing the following:

  • Oversee all policies and functions related to state procurement.
  • Provide electronic sourcing tools that allow procurement professionals to post and award their own competitive bids.
  • Negotiate contracts with companies that provide services to the state.
  • Provide technical assistance and guidance to state entities.
  • Manage and monitor the use of state purchasing cards, procurement tools that allow State employees to obtain goods and services quickly and efficiently.
  • Offer training courses and Georgia purchasing certifications to provide procurement professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to perform their job duties.
