Doing Business with Pennsylvania

The day-to-day operation of state government requires vast infrastructure and a wide array of expertise. In addition to the skills of nearly 80,000 employees, the commonwealth partners with many specialized service providers to achieve its mission.

In addition, Pennsylvania state government aggregates the purchasing power of state agencies to achieve economies of scale and save money. From asphalt to personal computers, the commonwealth’s strategic sourcing streamlines procurement processes for both state agencies and vendors.

The Pennsylvania Department of General Services provides an array of information on doing business with the commonwealth.
