A Little About Our Business

The Strategic Sourcing Bureau is located within the State Procurement Services Division. We administer a cost-effective, professional procurement and contract administration program for the State of Montana by ensuring fair competition, maximizing the purchasing value of public funds, and providing leadership and services for innovative, responsive, and accountable public procurement. 

Strategic sourcing is a critical practice for improving our performance through reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and mitigating supply risks. While many procurements are reactive to short-term needs, strategic sourcing seeks to align procurement practices with an objective of creating and maintaining long-term value. Strategic sourcing considers additional factors—like total cost of ownership (TCO) for a particular commodity or service—to determine the most beneficial contract type and length, the most suitable product or service, and the optimal suppliers to provide the best-value to the organization.

What is this career opportunity? Strategic Sourcing is looking for an individual with excellent communication and problem-solving skills to join our team.We are interested in an individual that is experienced in procurement but also open to someone that is passionate about learning and growing in this role.This position will help establish cooperative contracts for the enterprise and will assist state agencies to purchase goods and services from those contracts.
…In short, you would help State agencies follow State law to buy the products and services they need.If you excel in communication, problem solving and facilitating conversations, you may be the person we are looking for
