The Alaska Department of Administration (DOA) is a state government agency that provides centralized administrative services to other state departments and agencies in Alaska. Established under Alaska state law, the department serves as the primary support organization for the state government’s operations. The DOA manages several critical functions including human resources, labor relations, retirement and benefits, risk management, enterprise technology services, and facilities management. The department also oversees the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), which handles vehicle registrations, driver licensing, and related services for Alaska residents. Key responsibilities of the DOA include maintaining the state’s accounting and payroll systems, administering employee health benefits and retirement programs, providing information technology infrastructure, and managing state-owned buildings and facilities. The department also handles procurement and contracting services for state agencies. The department is led by a Commissioner who is appointed by the Governor of Alaska and confirmed by the state legislature. Through its various divisions, the DOA employs hundreds of state workers who serve Alaska’s population of approximately 730,000 residents across the state’s vast geographic area. The agency operates through its main offices in Juneau, Alaska’s capital city, with additional facilities and service centers located throughout the state.
