State Purchasing

The State Purchasing department became part of the Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) in 1972 and serves as the procurement function of all government entities in the state of Georgia. In 2005 State Purchasing became very active with Governor Sonny Perdue's Commission for a New Georgia, which essentially is a complete overhaul of all state procurement methodologies. Together they helped create Team Georgia Marketplace, a new electronic procurement system that more effectively delivers transactions and saves the state money.

Mr. Tim Gibney currently serves as the Assistant Commissioner of the DOAS' State Purchasing Division. He received a BS degree in Commerce from the University of Maryland, an MBA from Long Island University, and has over twenty years of public and private industry procurement management experience.
