Arizona Department of Administration

What Arizona Department of Administration does

The Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) is the centralized administrative and business operations hub of Arizona state government, established in 1973 by the Arizona State Legislature under A.R.S. Title 41 and headquartered at 100 N 15th Ave, Phoenix. It delivers shared enterprise services to all Arizona state agencies, including benefits administration, facilities operations and maintenance, procurement, technology, risk management, human resources, payroll, mailroom services, and school facilities oversight. ADOA oversees personnel administration for more than 32,000 state employees and manages approximately 3.8 million gross square feet of building space across Capitol Mall, Phoenix Metro, Tucson, and Kingman.

ADOA's technology platform spans Arizona Strategic Enterprise Technology (ASET) for statewide IT infrastructure, AZ360 for personnel and financial management systems, the Arizona Procurement Portal for e-procurement, and mandated use of Procore for state-funded construction. Under the Cloud-First Policy, ADOA closed 90 on-premise data centers, migrated over 2,900 applications, and deployed Google Workspace enterprise email across 86 executive branch agencies covering 40,000+ mailboxes, generating $10.8M+ in recurring cost savings. Operational systems include Tango Reserve by Agilquest (workspace booking), Maxpanda (work orders and badging), eCivis (grant management), and QuickBase (surplus property forms). Arizona's Connected Workspace, opened September 2022, serves state employees with coworking and conference facilities.

ADOA's revenue model is funded through state government appropriations and taxpayer funding, with internal cost recovery via the Capital Outlay Stabilization Fund (COSF), in which state agencies pay rent for managed office space at $13.08 per square foot and $4.74 per square foot for storage. Additional fee-based revenue streams include mailroom services (14% surcharge on postage), Phoenix-Tucson delivery shuttle ($0.75/lb), surplus property transfers (10% of fair market value, $20-$300 range), and public auctions of shipping containers starting at $2,000. Customer segments are concentrated entirely within Arizona state government agencies, with secondary service to K-12 school districts, local governments, and eligible nonprofits via federal surplus property donation.
