Celebrating 65 Years of Service
OGS Turns 65!

In 1960, New York State created the Office of General Services (OGS). The new office streamlined government operations, improved access to services, and strengthened stewardship of public-owned assets and resources–guiding principles that have led OGS for the past 65 years.

Looking back, OGS has evolved into one of New York's largest and most diverse agencies–one that is dedicated more than ever to its core mission of providing efficient and effective services for all New Yorkers. Today, OGS employs more than 2,000 people: a multitalented group of forward thinkers and doers with expertise in everything from construction to event planning and beyond.
