Small Business and Supplier Diversity QPR

Small businesses are essential to the growth and success of our economy. These businesses provide thousands of jobs throughout the state.

We're committed to serving Georgia's small business community with a focus on minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses, and providing access to state purchasing opportunities, education, and business support services.

For more on how we are engaging and serving small businesses across our state, check out the latest edition of our Small Business and Supplier Diversity Initiative Progress Report.

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.
