The COSTARS program provides municipalities, agencies and PA authorities collectively known as “Members” a variety of choices and competitive pricing across a platform of language services.
The greatest benefit to members is the elimination of the time and expense needed to hold a public bidding process. Pennsylvania Department of General Services (DGS) manages the COSTARS procurement platform. Members purchase goods from contracted suppliers giving Pennsylvania members discounts and assurance that PA COSTARS Suppliers have been thoroughly vetted and awarded contracts in their areas of expertise.
