DEADLINE / REGULATIONS<br />
It is the mission of DGS to provide high quality services at a good price to support the operation of state<br />
government. DGS is the state’s purchaser of commodities and services, the manager of capital expenditures for<br />
buildings, and the entity that maintains and protects our facilities. In addition, the de<strong>pa</strong>rtment aims to make<br />
government friendlier for its users, ex<strong>pa</strong>nd opportunity for minority and women-owned businesses, and reduce<br />
operating costs for the agencies of state government.<br />
COSTARS – This program permits local public procurement<br />
units registered with the program and state-affiliated entities<br />
to purchase goods and services from the De<strong>pa</strong>rtment of<br />
General Services contracts.<br />
A complete list of currently registered<br />
communities and organizations that can<br />
use the state contracts, as well as more<br />
information about the COSTARS program<br />
itself, is available at: www.dgs.state.<strong>pa</strong>.us/<br />

The Bureau of Supplies and Surplus Operations offers munici<strong>pa</strong>lities a number of programs to help stretch<br />
limited budget dollars.<br />
The Law Enforcement Excess 1033 Property Program –<br />
Provide law enforcement agencies an excellent opportunity<br />
to acquire excess De<strong>pa</strong>rtment of Defense equipment and<br />
supplies to use in the line of duty. Body armor, photographic<br />
equipment, computers, night vision goggles, vehicles, and<br />
many other valuable protective items can be acquired to<br />
protect the men and women who protect your community.<br />
The property itself is a donation from the Federal<br />
Government. However, applicants do incur a service charge to<br />
cover the state’s cost of administering this program.<br />
The Law Enforcement 1122 New Property Program –<br />
Enable law enforcement agencies to purchase new equipment<br />
and supplies suitable for counterdrug activities using<br />
Federal contracts. Because of its volume purchasing power,<br />
the Federal Government receives tremendous discounts on<br />
many of the items commonly used by local law enforcement<br />
agencies.<br />
The agency will research the federal contracts and provide<br />
quotes. Applicants do incur a service charge of $500 or 4<br />
percent of the sale price, whichever is less, to cover the state’s<br />
cost of administering this program.<br />
