Access Products and Services from Prime Vendors

There are Statewide Contracts for virtually every commodity or service that a public entity might need to conduct their business or carry out their mission.  Products purchased range from copy paper, pencils and personal computers, to vehicles, tires and fuel, building materials, medical supplies and food products, as well as thousands of other products. Services purchased include trade persons for general repair and maintenance (electrician, plumbing, locksmith, etc.), temporary staff, transcription, foreign language interpreters, training and numerous others.

Statewide Contracts are available for use by Commonwealth Legislative and Judicial Departments, authorities, qualified not-for-profits, community colleges, state universities, municipalities and other eligible entities. The emphasis is on teaming with these eligible entities to enhance service delivery, provide technical assistance and facilitate best-value procurements.
