What is COSTARS?
COSTARS (the Cooperative Purchasing Program) is a purchasing program run by the Pennsylvania Department of General Services that helps public entities in Pennsylvania buy goods and services more easily.
In simple terms:
It lets organizations skip the traditional, time-consuming bidding process by purchasing through contracts that the state has already competitively bid and approved.
Who can use COSTARS?
- School districts
- Municipalities (townships, boroughs, counties)
- Authorities (water, sewer, etc.)
- Nonprofits tied to public services
How it works:
Vendors (like SRS) become approved COSTARS suppliers. Then public entities can hire them directly through the program without issuing their own bid.
Why it matters:
✔ Saves time on procurement
✔ Ensures compliance with PA purchasing laws
✔ Provides pre-approved, vetted contractors
✔ Simplifies project kickoff
Example (relevant to you): If a municipality needs concrete repair or joint sealant work, they can hire a COSTARS-approved contractor directly instead of going through a full RFP/bid cycle.
