Utah. Department of Administrative Services

The Utah Department of Administrative Services (DAS) was created by the Forty-fourth Legislature in March 1981 with passage of the Administrative Services Act. This action was a result of an organizational study of state administrative services by the Governor's Committee on Executive Reorganization. The mission of the department was to eliminate duplication, ensure fiscal integrity, enhance technological opportunity, and save money throughout state government by coordinating support services and administrative functions.

The department supervised those agencies that provide such centralized services as accounting, archiving and managing of records, data processing, facilities management (which includes construction and remodeling projects authorized by the legislature), mailing, motor pool, printing, fuel dispensing, purchasing, and telecommunications to other state agencies.
