The Washington Pulse Crops Commission was created under the Washington State Enabling Act of 1961, and a board was established July 1, 1965, to manage the funds collected from the assessment on dry peas, lentils and chickpeas. The eight-person board allocates funding for research, domestic and international marketing, government affairs and education.

In compliance with Department of Enterprise Services Supplier Diversity Policy DES-090-06 the Washington State Pulse Crops Commission has compiled a Forecasted Needs Report for all non-competitive and competitive purchases for the upcoming fiscal year.  At this time, the Pulse Crops Commission does not anticipate any new procurements for the upcoming year.  If that changes, we will update this section with a link to our forecast report.
