Procurement Risk Assessment

We are the statewide authority for all state purchases of goods and services. We delegate purchasing authority for goods and services to state agencies based on a procurement risk assessment.

We updated the risk assessment process to achieve these goals:

  1. Improve the efficiency of the process to be able to assess agencies’ delegated authority in a timely manner.
  2. More clearly define and communicate how the risk assessment is administered so agencies better understand the process and how we use the information.
  3. Improve customer satisfaction with the process.
