Department of State

The New York State Department of State (DOS) serves as a gateway to opportunity for nearly every New Yorker, with a broad set of responsibilities in state government. The DOS focuses on economically empowering individuals, helping grassroots leaders develop community infrastructures, licensing various occupations, and providing a path to incorporation for job-creating companies. The agency also deals with combative sports, building code enforcement, waterfront revitalization, and immigrant services. Procurement opportunities can be found on their website, and the DOS provides funding to municipal and non-profit grantees for the procurement of goods and services throughout New York.

The top 10 categories from GoVets that are applicable to the New York State Department of State's needs and use cases include: Office Supplies, Furniture, Electronics, Industrial Supplies, Building Materials and Structural Components, Computers and Accessories, Electrical Circuit Protection, Electrical Connectors, Cleaning Supplies, and Breakroom Equipment and Supplies. These categories cover a wide range of products and services that can support the diverse functions and responsibilities of the DOS.

As a New York State Agency, the Department of State should take advantage of shopping on GoVets for several reasons. GoVets is an authorized MSC reseller on the New York State Wide Industrials Supplies Contract (#PC69878), which means that the DOS can get government contract pricing as soon as they log in to their GoVets account. GoVets is the nation's largest veteran-owned online store, offering millions of products with 100% free shipping and 100% USA-based customer support. The agency can benefit from tax-exempt purchases and request quotes on all products. By shopping on GoVets, the Department of State will not only receive competitive pricing and excellent customer service but also contribute to a socially responsible business that supports veteran non-profit causes of national significance.
