How To

• Purchase Guidance for Executive Branch Agencies: Purchasing 101

• Use and Purchase from State Contracts: Statewide Contracts are legal agreements between DAS Procurement and contractors selected through a competitive bidding process. These contracts cover a broad range of goods and services and are available to both State agencies and local entities. A full list, including certified Small/Minority Business Enterprises (SBE/MBE), is accessible through the State Contracting Portal.
  
  
• Purchases $100,000 or Less For Executive Branch Agencies: Under the authority delegated to executive branch state agencies through General Letter 71, certain purchases of goods and services costing $100,000 or less may be made without prior and specific approval from DAS. This is contingent on no existing DAS contract covering the goods or services being acquired. Please click this link for more guidance: GL71 101.
