Welcome Indiana Vendors

We welcome discount offers from businesses who serve employees throughout the state of Indiana!

The Employee Discount Program is intended to allow vendors to offer discounts in recognition of the service state employees provide to the citizens of Indiana.

Criteria for State Employee Discount Offers

Any offer:

1. Must not involve the contribution of any state funds.
2. Must provide a unique benefit designed for state employees, or involve no cost to state employees (i.e., a free offer).
3. Must be available to any and all state employees who wish to take advantage of the offer, regardless of location or employing agency.
4. Must not be political in nature. Must not violate state ethics rules. Must not involve the state handling funds.
5. Must offer appropriate and relevant goods or services.

The state reserves the right to refuse any offers, to remove a listing at any time, and to modify promotional materials (e.g., due to space limitations).

BUYER BEWARE. A listing on the state’s employee-discount page does not signify: endorsement by the State Personnel Department, that there was any competitive procurement; or the existence of a state contract. Purchaser must examine, judge, and test for him/herself.

Discount offerors are not authorized to market goods or services in the workplace, by means other than SPD issued email, newsletters, or internet postings.
