Mission

The mission of the Office of General Services (OGS) is to manage and lease real property, design and build facilities, contract for goods, services and technology, and deliver a wide array of support services for agencies. The agency seeks to provide citizens, government, and nonprofit agencies with innovative solutions, integrated service and best value, in support of cost-effective operations and responsible public stewardship.

In the coming year, OGS will continue to play a primary role in the centralization of services that are common across State agencies and programs. The agency is already delivering savings through a series of new flexible procurements that speed the purchasing of common goods and services and through managing aggregate purchases of natural gas and electricity. In addition, OGS continues to lead the effort to eliminate unneeded office space and is expanding its current role in supporting other State agencies through enterprise initiatives in finance, human resources services, and real estate operations.

Budget Highlights

The FY 2017 Executive Budget recommends $1.13 billion for OGS ($169 million General Fund; $20 million Special Revenue Funds-Other; $8 million Federal Funds; $12 million Enterprise Funds; $830 million Internal Service Funds; $750,000 Fiduciary Funds; and $90 million Capital Funds) reflecting an All Funds decrease of $140 million from the FY 2016 Budget. The decrease primarily reflects the elimination of the $152 million Harriman Campus Strategic Action Plan new appropriation, of which $149 million has been reappropriated, and offset by an expansion of enterprise services and annualization of Business Services Center transfers.

The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 1,869 FTEs. The increase of 115 FTEs from the FY 2016 level reflects agency transfers into the Business Services Center.
