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.

Thank you for attending the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services Small Business Set-Aside Program (SBSA) 2nd Annual Reverse Vendor Fair on September 18 in Springfield.  This event allowed over 150 vendors and representatives from more than 20 agencies to meet and learn what the vendors sell and what the State buys.  Vendors also had the opportunity to attend presentations on the the SBSA, the Illinois Procurement Gateway, and BidBuy.  We look forward to seeing you at next year’s event.
