Department of Accounting and General Services

The Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS) provides central administrative services to Hawaii state government, including accounting, procurement, information technology, public works project management, and facilities management for state buildings. It manages state contracts worth billions of dollars, oversees the Hawaii.gov digital services platform, and administers the state archives. DAGS decisions on procurement standards and IT systems affect how efficiently all other state agencies operate.

DAGS manages how taxpayer dollars are spent on state contracts and how government buildings and technology systems are maintained. Residents and businesses that contract with the state are directly affected by DAGS procurement rules and standards.
