The North Carolina Department of Administration was established in 1957 and authorized by North Carolina General Statute 143B, Article 9, Paragraph 143B-366. The department provides business management to the North Carolina government. NCDOA is one of the ten cabinet level agencies. It oversees government operations including facilities construction, purchasing goods, contracting for services, and managing property.[1][2][3]

Services[edit]

NCDOA houses miscellaneous state government programs. NCDOA is overseeing the state's motor fleet Zero Emissions Vehicle initiative, established by Governor Roy Cooper in 2019.[4] The department publishes breakdowns of state spending, reporting statistics such as per-pupil educational spending.[5] NCDOA administers public relations for state government, promoting the administration awareness campaigns, such as WalksmartNC pedestrian initiative and the campaign promoting participation in the U.S. census.[6][7] In 2019, Secretary Machelle Sanders launched the Lady Cardinal Mentorship Program, a summer program that connects female high school students with women in STEM careers in state government.[8]
