The Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) serves as the central operations hub for state government, committed to delivering results that matter to the people of Arizona. A vital component of this mission is the General Services Division (GSD) and its Planning and Construction Services Group, which plays a strategic role in executing key infrastructure projects for both internal and external state agencies.
