How to Become A COSTARS Supplier
COSTARS is the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s cooperative purchasing program administered by the Department of General Services (DGS) Bureau of Procurement. The COSTARS program provides registered local public procurement units as well as state-affiliated entities (together “members”) and suppliers a tool to find and do business with each other through the use of a contract established by DGS.
The goal of the program is to provide a contract with competitive pricing, while providing increased opportunities for suppliers and eligible participants. Some of the current industries COSTARS is soliciting bids from include: janitorial supplies, foods, graphic and printing services, toiletries, pest control services, municipal work vehicles, energy consulting services, and furniture and window treatments, just to name a few.
During this FREE workshop, staff of the Northwest Commission Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) will discuss various aspects of COSTARS including a general overview, navigating the COSTARS websites, and the registrations & requirements to become a Supplier under the program.
Presented in partnership with the Office of State Representative R. Lee James, Venango Area Chamber of Commerce, Franklin Area Chamber of Commerce and Clarion University SBDC.
