In 1993, the State of Georgia made a significant commitment to provide meaningful employment opportunities for Georgians with disabilities. Georgia's State Use Law was established to improve the quality of life for Georgia’s citizens with disabilities by GEPS contracting with various non-profits throughout the state to employ those individuals to provide both quality services and mandating the purchase of a wide range of products which they produce, to be used by state government agencies.
Currently, except for COVID Testing Kits, all the products that GEPS sells are Mandatory per Georgia State Law and State Purchasing Guidelines. That means that any agencies that fall under the State Purchasing Act and DOAS purview are statutorily mandated to order those items from GEPS. Purchasing such items from a source other than Georgia Enterprises (such as a Statewide or Convenience contract) would not comply with those guidelines or state law.
When products and services are purchased from GEPS, it is not simply a purchase but creating employment for Georgians with disabilities and providing them with the dignity of a paycheck..
