About

The State of Oklahoma wants to attract more private companies to become state suppliers, convey the state’s needs and how companies can scale to meet those needs and also give a hands-on learning experience for companies to understand the state’s purchasing process and opportunities.

Established in 2021, the State Suppliers Expo is an annual reverse tradeshow-style event that brings together executive state leadership, agencies, procurement experts and business representatives under one roof. The state educates companies on  procurement processes, helps them sign up as state bidders and highlights each cabinet's top projects. Ultimately, the Expo gets everyone in one location to talk openly about the state’s needs and how businesses can help realize the vision for a better Oklahoma with more competitive supplier options.

Key offerings:

• Cabinet booths and top projects that need suppliers.
• In-person networking with state leaders.
• On-site supplier registration and guidance.
• Breakout sessions and Q&A.
