Office of Procurement

Our Services

The Office of Procurement is organized into two core areas – Administration and Operations – which work hand in hand to deliver efficient procurement services, ensure responsible financial management, and provide essential support to the American Samoa Government (ASG). Together, these divisions uphold accountability, transparency, and value in every aspect of government procurement.

OPERATIONS

Operations carries out the Office of Procurement’s core responsibility of acquiring construction, goods, and services for ASG through fair and competitive practices.
