The finding results indicated that the mean value for PPDU (mean=3.21), FPPA (mean=3.43), and PPPDS (mean=2.84) were above average which indicate that public procurement units are moderately contributed to administrative efficiency. The correlation result for PPDU (r=0.417, P<0.01), FPPA (r= 0.369, p<0.01) and PPPDS (r=0.355, p<0.01) indicated that there were positive relationship between all of independent variables and the dependent variable, rejecting all null hypotheses. This implies that any increase or decrease on the independent variable will bring corresponding change on administrative efficiency. It’s found that the independent variables has a 43.6% influence on the dependent variable while the remaining 56.4% is influenced by factors which are not covered in this study.
