The Oklahoma Department of Commerce (Commerce) will join other state agencies at the annual State Supplier’s Expo at the Oklahoma City Convention Center August 5-6. The expo allows Commerce to connect with businesses from across the state interested in working with the agency. The expo also provides an opportunity for business to learn more about Oklahoma’s procurement system and how to become a registered supplier with the state. Businesses will also have an opportunity to begin the supplier registration process at the Supplier Registration booth.

The no-cost event kicks off on August 5 with in-person networking opportunities where attendees can discuss current project and supplier needs with representatives from the various state agencies. The second day of the event will include educational breakout sessions on several topics including how to bid on contracts and helpful industry-specific requirements.

The State Suppliers Expo is an informational and networking event only. No contracts or bidding decisions will be made on site. Attendees can register on-site. To view session topics and booth listings, visit oklahoma.gov/stateyourbusiness.
