Approved COSTARS Site Contractor

COSTARS is the Cooperative Purchasing Program established through Pennsylvania’s Department of General Services (DGS).  Member organizations are publicly funded, including municipalities, school districts, public authorities, non-profit educational or public health institutions, non-profit fire or rescue companies, and other entities that spend public funds on supplies and services. The members, by law, are normally required to go through a bidding process to purchase goods.  However, COSTAR suppliers, like Admiral, have been vetted and approved as direct suppliers, bypassing the bidding process.  In addition, members may choose suppliers on criteria other than price during the selection process through COSTARS.  This allows members to have more control and authority over their projects.

As an approved PA COSTARS supplier providing services in security installations – Security, Surveillance and Fire Systems and IT Services we provide verified value designed to alleviate headaches associated with the bid process.  Member organizations using COSTARS suppliers can spend that money on their projects instead.  Using a COSTARS supplier saves money, time, and frustration.
