Procurement Guidance
Commonwealth Procurement & RFP/RFQ Support How the Commonwealth buys, and what each solicitation requires.
Pennsylvania has its own procurement code, contract vehicles and participation rules. PA NextGen helps prime vendors understand how Commonwealth agencies buy and what each solicitation requires.

- Tracking questions, addenda and submission deadlines through the solicitation
