Become Repair Vendor for State Vehicles
Any person interested in becoming a vendor to provide mobile equipment and repair services for state vehicles can apply through the Office of Fleet and Asset Management (OFAM).
As part of OFAM’s efforts to help state agencies maintain safe and cost-effective fleets, OFAM administers the DGS-approved Auto Repair Vendor Program, which establishes standards for auto repair services statewide. Auto repair vendors throughout California may apply for DGS approval by submitting the Vendor Application packet. OFAM publishes the list of approved vendors on its website to provide agencies with easy access to verified auto repair service providers. Before submitting your application packet, please review the Auto Repair Vendor Program Guide for detailed information on program requirements, approval processes, and participation expectations.
