Required DES Procurement Training

Under the procurement reform law (RCW 39.26.110) effective July 1, 2013, the State of Washington requires all state employees whose jobs include procurement-related duties to fulfill certain 培训 requirements.

Department of Enterprise 服务 (DES) has posted employee course requirements on their Contracts and Procurement web page. Please see the page below to determine the exact courses and timeframe that employees need to follow within your department/school.
