Goods and Services Procurement law (RCW 39.26) fosters transparency by maintaining a publicly available list of contracts and procurement efforts. An integral part of this reform is the requirement under RCW 39.26.210 for all state agencies and higher education institutions to submit an annual report of their contracts to the Department Enterprise Services (DES).

Report Cycle

The reports are required on an annual basis and must include a list of contracts and/or amendments that are effective between July 1 and June 30 each year. The due date for individual agency reports to DES is October 31. Submit your completed report.

What's New?

The due date for the Agency Contracts Report is now October 31. DES has changed the due date this year to allow time to analyze, compile and submit the IT Contracts Reports to the legislative fiscal committees.

Publicly Accessible Reports

After contracts and/or amendments are reported, DES populates and maintains a publicly available list of these items on a searchable website, data.wa.gov. View the report for 2020.

The list contains agency and contractor names, contract dates and amounts, and purpose and procurement information for each contract. More details about the data can be found in the documents linked below.
