Search Contracts

Effective Wednesday 11/4/2020 the Contracts Search for Master Contracts by the “Green” filter will be altered to search by “Considerations/Preferences” that are supported through Executive Orders or Procurement Policies.

There is a unique icon that will identify each Consideration or Preference per Master Contract, please see the key at the bottom of the search tool to see the new icons and what they represent.

What is happening with Green?

• DES is currently coordinating with the Department of Ecology to revamp our internal process and define criteria for “Green Contracts” to better aid in your purchasing needs.
• DES will be piloting the new Green Contract and Product Criteria on several Master Contracts through Q1 of 2021.
• DES is currently working to develop guidance and tools in support of Section 1.A of Executive Order 20-01 (SEEP) that will be available at the beginning of 2021.
• “Toxics and Solid Waste Reduction. Directors shall ensure that their agencies are complying with state rules and guidance on environmentally preferable purchasing. Directors of the Department of Enterprise Services (DES) and the Department of Ecology (ECY) shall ensure that their agencies are collaborating to produce guidance that is simple, clear, and targeted on the most important opportunities for toxics and solid waste pollution reduction.”

More Green Procurement information will be coming soon. If you have any questions on Green Procurement, please contact Cheral Manke at 360.407.9402.

Improving opportunity in contracting and procurement for small and diverse businesses is good for the State and makes good business sense.

Master Contracts provide customers opportunities to incorporate processes for considering new and diverse businesses for meeting business needs. Enterprise Services created the search tool below to assist customers with identifying contracts awarded to diverse vendors. The search is defaulted to contracts that have either a small, minority, women, or veteran owned business. You can refine the filter by selecting a button from the below button group for a specific certification type:

• Small Business: Washington small businesses
• Veteran: Department of Veteran Affairs certified veteran-owned businesses.
• Minority, Women, Minority/Women: Businesses certified by the Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises as being minority- or women-owned.

Diverse vendors are also available as fulfillment partners on some statewide master contracts. The fulfillment partners are identified on the contracts below, within the pricing and ordering documents.

• NASPO Copiers and Managed Print Services
• NASPO FACILITIES MRO
