Welcome to the Chief Procurement Office for General Services
Each year, State agencies conduct thousands of procurements to obtain the items they require to fulfill their missions. These procurements award billions of dollars to vendors. The Chief Procurement Officer for General Services and her State Purchasing Officers promote public trust by ensuring that all procurements are conducted lawfully and ethically.
