Pennsylvania’s cooperative purchasing initiative, COSTARS, is overseen by the Bureau of Procurement within the Pennsylvania Department of General Services (DGS).
The Pennsylvania Department of General Services competitively bids both COSTARS-exclusive contracts and COSTARS-participating statewide contracts, aiming to streamline the procurement process for eligible members. This is achieved through the provision of pre-negotiated contracts and the facilitation of efficient purchases covering a broad spectrum of products and services.
When entering into a COSTARS contract with a vendor, the pricing established serves as a maximum limit. Lowes Sales & Service is expressly prohibited from exceeding the quoted price, unless there are additional options or accessories requested.
For the quoting process, our unique COSTARS contract number is #0000557612
