CONTACT INFO/DEADLINE
It is the mission of DGS to provide high quality services at a good price to support the operation of state government.
DGS is the state’s purchaser of commodities and services, the manager of capital expenditures for buildings,
and the entity that maintains and protects our facilities. In addition, the department aims to make government
friendlier for its users, expand opportunity for minority and women-owned businesses, and reduce operating
costs for the agencies of state government.
COSTARS – This program permits local public procurement
units and state-affiliated entities registered within the Department
of General Services to purchase goods and services from
COSTARS designated contracts.
A complete list of currently registered communities
and organizations that can use the
state contracts, as well as more information
about the COSTARS program itself, is available
at www.dgs.state.pa.us/costars or by
calling 1-866-768-7827.
The Bureau of Supplies and Surplus Operations offers municipalities a number of programs to help stretch
limited budget dollars.
The 1033 Excess Property Program – Provides your law enforcement
agency an excellent opportunity to acquire excess
Department of Defense equipment and supplies to use in the
line of duty. Body armor, photographic equipment, computers,
night vision goggles, vehicles, and many other valuable protective
items can be acquired to protect the men and women
who protect your community. The property itself is a donation
from the Federal Government. However, you do incur a service
charge to cover the state’s cost of administering this program.
The 1122 New Property Program – Enables your law enforcement
agency to purchase new equipment and supplies suitable
for counterdrug activities using Federal contracts. Because of
its volume purchasing power, the Federal Government receives
tremendous discounts on many of the items commonly used by
local law enforcement agencies.
Our bureau will research the federal contracts and provide
quotes to you. You do incur a service charge of $500 or 4 percent
of the sale price, whichever is less, to cover the state’s cost
of administering this program.
