Procurement
Pursuant to O.C.G.A. 50-25-4, the Georgia Technology Authority – through its Board of Directors, appointments and delegated authority – may procure and contract for goods and services in support of GTA’s mission and business requirements. GTA agrees, in principle, to comply with the State Purchasing Act as detailed in the rules and regulations of the Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) State Purchasing Office (SPO) and published in the Georgia Procurement Manual (GPM).
As a basic foundation of the procurement and acquisition of goods and services for the authority, GTA has chosen to adopt the concept of Best Value Procurement from the GPM.
By virtue of its Authority status as indicated in the GPM, GTA is exempt from an established dollar threshold for procuring goods and services and may develop its own internal procurement rules and regulations. To govern its internal procurement decisions, GTA created and adopted a GTA Procurement Manual.
The GTA Procurement Management Office has been established by GTA's Executive Director to make, execute and enter into any and all contracts for goods and services on behalf of GTA. The Director of Procurement has further designated an Agency Procurement Officer (APO) to ensure that the awards of contracts are made in accordance with the internal procurement practices set forth in the GTA Procurement Manual. The GTA Procurement Management Office administers procurement and contract activities in support of GTA’s internal offices and its Service Management Organization (SMO).
