Office of Purchasing

The role of the Purchasing Division is to assist county departments and divisions in acquiring goods, services, or construction. The office is generally the initial contact for agencies and contractors to acquire goods or services. The Purchasing Division oversees a purchasing process that assures impartial and equitable evaluation of bids and proposals from vendors and helps agencies to establish fair and reasonable contracts. In the event of a contract dispute or claim resolution, the division acts as mediator.
