Competitive Contracting

The 2002 Legislature approved the Personnel Reform Act for Washington. The act authorizes competitive contracting within state government.

Competitive contracting gives state agencies the option to determine if contracting for services will save money and boost efficiencies. A process is written into the Personnel Reform Act to help guide agencies through competitive contracting. 

A quick summary about the basics of the process for competitive contracting is available in the Basic Guide to Competitive Contracting Adobe Icon brochure. 

A more detailed guide is the Washington State Competitive Contracting Manual.

GA is available to assist agencies with the competitive contracting process.  For additional information, go to:
