The Central Purchasing Bureau of Maryland was established in
consequence of an act passed by the Legislature of 1920 (Chapter 184,
1920). The Bureau was organized in June, 1920, and immediately took
over the purchasing of all State Departments, Boards, Institutions
and Commissions with the exception of the State Roads Commission.
In 1935 the Bureau took over the purchasing for the State Roads
Commission.

During the last fiscal year, purchases in excess of $6,000,000.00
were made.
