About

The State of Oklahoma wants to attract more private companies to become state suppliers. The State Suppliers Expo helps convey the state’s needs and how companies can scale to meet those needs, while giving a hands-on learning experience for companies to understand the state’s purchasing process and bidding 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 government section'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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The State Suppliers Expo is a networking and educational event for businesses. No contract or bidding decisions can be made at this event.
