The Commissioner has delegated the responsibility for making these purchases to the Purchasing and Contract Administration Division. The mission of the Division is to provide an efficient and cost effective centralized procurement management system, for the acquisition of materials and equipment necessary for state agencies. The Division fully recognizes its obligations to the taxpayer, to state agencies and to vendors. Taxpayers deserve purchasing actions and decisions which will provide operating agencies the necessary equipment and materials at the best value to the State. State agencies deserve rapid response to purchasing requests.
Vendors deserve fair treatment in the bidding process and timely payment of bills.
The Division is not responsible for personal service contracts. Vendors interested in selling personal services to State agencies are encouraged to contact individual agencies directly. The purchasing agent selects vendors from this roster for bid solicitations. Prospective bidders should be aware that inclusion on our bidders list does not automatically guarantee receiving all invitations to bid. We have many bidders on this list and it would be impractical to include each bidder on every solicitation.
