Statewide Contracts |
| |
Statewide Contracts are established by State Purchasing for the benefit of government entities throughout Georgia. By leveraging state purchasing power, a variety of high-quality goods and services are provided conveniently at below market rates.
Contracts are for a wide range of commodities such as office furniture, natural gas and ammunition. See the
Statewide Contract Index web site to learn what goods and services are currently contracted to Georgia government. |

Agency Contracts |
| |
Agency Contracts are initiated and managed by state entities for use by the originating agency. State Purchasing tracks agency contracts using the Agency Contract Index (ACI), which is a comprehensive list of agency and supplier contact information, commodity and service requirements/specifications, and pricing. Using the ACI, State Purchasing identifies duplicate contracts and seeks opportunities to combine needs into lower rate statewide contracts.
In addition to the ACI, agency contract information is also listed in the Georgia Procurement Registry (GPR). State Purchasing offers the Agency Contract Index Manual to assist agencies in searching and posting agency contracts in the GPR.

State Use Procurement List (Mandatory and Preferred) |
| |
The State Use Law set forth at OCGA 50.5.135 et.seq. is intended to create opportunities for disabled persons employed by community based rehabilitation programs and training centers that are certified by the State Use Council. In order to effectuate the purposes of the State Use Law, the Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) and the State Use Council have created the “Procurement List” for mandatory source and preferred source products.
State governmental entities are required to purchase items identified as “Mandatory” on the Procurement List when needed. Items identified as “Preferred” are not considered a mandatory source, but state governmental entities may choose to purchase if desired without competitive sourcing.

Preferred Sources |
| |
Through initiatives established by State statute, select non-profit agencies may produce products or services classified as “preferred” status. This classification requires other state agencies to purchase specific products and services from these select agencies. To maintain this designation, preferred source organizations are subject to periodic performance and price reviews conducted by DOAS.
Currently, there are three preferred source agencies:

Reciprocal Preference Law |
| |
Georgia does not have a percentage Preference Law; however, we do reciprocate based on other states or preferences of other states. Resident suppliers in the State of Georgia are to be granted the same preference over suppliers resident in another state in the same manner. This preference is used for evaluation purposes only. All state agencies are required to apply this reciprocal preference. Note: For the purpose of this law, the definition of a resident supplier is one who maintains a place of business with at least one employee inside the State of Georgia. A post office box will not satisfy this requirement.
All state agencies, departments, and authorities responsible for the maintenance of public lands shall give preference to the use of compost and mulch in all road building, land maintenance and land development activities. Preference shall be given to compost and mulch made in the State of Georgia from organics which are source separated from the state's non-hazardous solid waste stream.
