How to sell to Georgia government
Georgia replaced Team Georgia Marketplace with GA@WORK Marketplace for Suppliers on July 1, 2026, and that portal handles registration, bidding and the state's business certification applications. State and local bids of $100,000 or more must be posted on the Georgia Procurement Registry.

Where Georgia posts bids
State agencies post on Georgia Procurement Registry (GPR).[1] The GPR lists bid opportunities from both state and local government entities, so one search covers many Georgia buyers.
Changed recently: GA@WORK Marketplace for Suppliers launched July 1, 2026 and replaced Team Georgia Marketplace for supplier registration, bidding and contracts.[4]

How to register, step by step
- 01
Register on GA@WORK Marketplace for Suppliers
Start registration. Cost: No fee listed by the State of Georgia. Create an account in GA@WORK Marketplace for Suppliers and select the NIGP codes for your goods and services. Payments, invoices and bank details are handled in a separate GA@WORK Supplier Management Portal.[2]
- 02
Choose your commodity codes
Notifications are sent by the codes in your vendor profile. Pick every code that describes your work, and revisit them when you add a service.
- 03
Get certified if you qualify
Georgia Business Certification Program, through the Georgia Department of Administrative Services, Small Business and Supplier Diversity. Six categories (small and non-small minority-, veteran- and women-owned); first certify with an approved partner organization, then apply in GA@WORK.[3]
- 04
Watch the other buyers
Cities and counties in Georgia run their own vendor systems. See the guides for City of Atlanta below.
What you will typically need
Exact requirements vary by portal; the registration page linked above is the authority. Most ask for:
- Your legal business name and address exactly as registered with the state, and your federal tax ID (EIN, or SSN for some sole proprietors).
- A signed IRS Form W-9, which most buyers collect before they can pay you.
- Commodity codes (NIGP, UNSPSC or NAICS, depending on the portal) for every product and service you sell.
- A contact who will receive bid notices, plus any business license or registration the jurisdiction requires.
- Certificates of insurance and, for construction, bonding capacity: these are usually requested per bid rather than at registration.

When a formal bid is required
Georgia law requires posting on the GPR for goods or services valued at $100,000 or more and for public works construction contracts under Chapter 91-36 valued at $100,000 or more.[1]
Tips
- Some DOAS pages still say Team Georgia Marketplace; use GA@WORK Marketplace for Suppliers, which replaced it July 1, 2026.
- Companies that subcontract with a DOAS-certified firm on state work may qualify for a Georgia income tax adjustment.
