We deliver statewide solutions that support the day-to-day operations of government. This includes contracting, purchasing, facilities management, fleet services, public works, and project management. We also provide support services such as risk management, employee assistance, printing, mailing, and small agency support.

We care for the buildings, grounds, and security of Washington's 403-acre Capitol Campus in Olympia so people can safely access government services and exercise First Amendment rights.

By sharing our expertise, we help agencies work more effectively behind the scenes and make the most of public resources.

We're in the business of saving state dollars without compromising value so agencies can focus on what matters most: delivering essential services to the people of Washington.
