COSTARS is the Commonwealth’s Cooperative Purchasing Program. COSTARS encourages the formulation of an interactive parternship between Local Public Procurement Units (LPPUs) and the Commonwealth. The COSTARS Program provides registered LPPUs as well as state affilliate entities (together “members”) and suppliers a tool to find and do business with each other effectively through the use of a contract established by the Department of General Services (DGS). There are over 6,000 COSTARS members taking advantage of existing available contracts.
