What North Dakota Office of Attorney General does

The North Dakota Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is the state's central budget and operations agency, headquartered at 600 E Boulevard Avenue in Bismarck, ND. The agency is led by Director Joe Morrissette and operates with approximately 35 employees. OMB serves North Dakota state agencies and residents by preparing and administering the executive state budget, operating the statewide procurement system, maintaining the Capitol Complex, managing the state vehicle fleet, administering risk management programs, and publishing consolidated financial transparency data.

OMB's core products are public-sector technology and service platforms rather than commercial offerings. These include Financial Transparency Dashboards for public spending visibility, the NDLTAP procurement portal (NDBuys) for statewide purchasing, the Team ND Careers Portal for state government hiring, and the Budget Development and Tracking System (BDTS) used by agencies to formulate and monitor appropriations. OMB also delivers direct construction-project oversight for major state capital projects.

OMB does not generate revenue in the commercial sense. It is funded through state general fund appropriations, with major capital projects such as the $300 million North Dakota State Hospital replacement and the 67,000-square-foot Military Gallery addition to the Heritage Center financed through dedicated appropriations including the Heritage Fund. As a monopoly state agency with a statutory mandate, OMB faces no commercial competition and no customer churn risk.

Direct peers

• Minnesota Management and Budget: Minnesota's state-level budget and management office performs the same core function as ND OMB — statewide budget development, financial transparency, and administrative oversight — making it the closest direct peer among peer-state governments.
• Iowa Department of Management: Iowa's DOM has analogous authority over state budget formulation, financial reporting, and administrative services for a comparable Midwestern state government.
• Wyoming State Budget Division: Wyoming's budget division performs executive-branch budget preparation and revenue forecasting for another small-population state, making it a structurally similar peer to ND OMB.
• Colorado Office of State Planning and Budgeting: OSP Colorado is another executive-branch state budget office with comparable scope: governor's budget development, revenue forecasting, and fiscal policy analysis — a direct functional peer.
• Montana Office of Budget and Program Planning: Montana's executive-branch budget office mirrors ND OMB's responsibilities: preparing the governor's executive budget, tracking appropriations, and providing fiscal policy guidance to the legislature.
• South Dakota Bureau of Finance and Management: South Dakota's central budget bureau serves the same role for an adjacent small-population state — preparing the governor's budget, revenue forecasting, and statewide fiscal oversight comparable to ND OMB.

Regional players

• North Dakota State Auditor's Office: The State Auditor's Office provides post-execution financial oversight and audits of state agencies, complementing OMB's pre-execution budget role within North Dakota's state finance architecture.
• North Dakota Legislative Council: ND's Legislative Council provides fiscal analysis and budget support to the state legislature — adjacent in function to OMB but operating from the legislative rather than executive branch, serving the same North Dakota budget ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• Wisconsin Department of Administration: Wisconsin's DOA is a larger, broader administrative-services agency that encompasses ND OMB-like functions (budget, procurement, facilities) plus additional HR and policy functions, making it a scaled-up incumbent analog.

Others

• NASBO (National Association of State Budget Officers): NASBO is the professional association representing state budget officers; it is not a competitor but the convening body that ND OMB's director engages with on budget methodology, fiscal policy research, and cross-state benchmarking.
