State Procurement Office

The State Procurement Office (SPO) recognizes the need to improve Procurement across the State. There are four major areas, which if focused on, will greatly aid the success of procurements in cost savings, improved efficiencies and innovation.
What and how the state purchases has great impact on our economy. We need to make the most of what we have. For Hawaii to catch up we need training and development of our procurement workforce for all state agencies and departments. We also need to be an incubator of Acquisition innovation and leverage these cutting-edge ideas to enhance the overall business environment and economic growth of Hawaii.

The SPO recommends four areas of focus in this strategic initiative:
1. Procurement Tools
2. Procurement Workforce
3. Business Development
4. Knowledge Management
