Procurement
The Commissioner of the Office of Administration (OA) has the responsibility under Chapter 34, RSMo to competitively bid and award contracts for state agencies. Within OA, the Division of Purchasing (Purchasing) is responsible for the procurement of supplies, equipment, and services required by state government in accordance with 1 CSR 40-1.050 (1). All agencies of state government are served by the Purchasing except Legislative Branch, Judicial Branch, Lottery Commission, the Department of Transportation (except information technology, telecommunications, and printing), and State College and Universities.

Purchasing maintains a list of procurement requests on behalf of state agency for issuance to the public. These procurements offer evaluation scoring consideration to vendors who propose qualified Missouri-certified MBE/WBE participation and Missouri Service Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (SDVE) as part of their proposed solution in their procurement response. This notification provides an opportunity for vendors to network and identify potentially viable MBE/WBE/SDVE participation solutions either by means of direct participation or through partnering arrangements.
The Awarded Bid & Contract Document Search and Retrieval System provides access to public record information regarding State of Missouri contracts, awarded bid/solicitation documents, bid abstracts, bid correspondence, and other related documents. This system includes documents only for the Office of Administration, Division of Purchasing bids and contracts.
