Welcome to the Division of Purchases' website. The Division of Purchases'
primary function is to procure materials, supplies, equipment and services
that represent the best value to the State of Maine. The Division was
established in 1931 and has responsibility under law (5 M.R.S.A.§1811)
to make purchases on behalf of all departments and agencies of State
Government. We are also authorized to extend to political subdivisions
and/or school administrative units the privilege of purchasing from our
established contracts.
It is the established policy of the Division of Purchases to provide
for open and competitive bidding in the procurement of goods and services
wherever practicable. In seeking the best value for the State of Maine,
we take into consideration factors such as life-cycle cost, delivery,
and quality in addition to price.
