State of Tennessee - Department of General Services
The Department of General Services makes Tennessee State Government work! Literally.
State troopers, and social workers, are a few State employees who couldn’t do their jobs without the vehicles we purchase and maintain. The Department of Transportation relies on us to purchase salt to treat icy roads. When you visit the State Capitol or other State buildings across Tennessee, our Department has had a hand in it. We are responsible for operating, managing, and maintaining real estate assets owned by the State. Even the governor relies on our team to document his appearances and various State events through photography.
As we proudly provide essential operational needs to all Tennessee State government agencies, we do so with a focus on reducing the administrative cost of government. This ensures our citizens receive the care and service they deserve and permits more State resources to be directed toward vital programs and services for all Tennesseans.
