Procurement Professionals


Since any organization's most important assets are their people, having a professional public procurement workforce that is empowered to make informed, savvy decisions, is critical to the continued success of all of our state procurement organizations and to maintain the public trust. 

The Maryland Procurement Academy (MDPA) provides training and certification programs to public procurement professionals across the State of Maryland. These programs invest in the growth and development of our current and future procurement leaders. Our public procurement organizations need a trained and agile workforce that can quickly adapt to new circumstances and technologies.
