Procurement Manual

As a general rule, Procurement Services will purchase all supplies, services, materials and equipment where the total expenditure exceeds $1,000.00. Expenditures of lessor amounts may be made by employees of a particular department using county issued procurement cards. Procurement Services will continue to handle the purchase of items valued at less than $1,000.00 if so desired by the requesting department. Departmental needs should be communicated to Procurement Services on a timely basis, in order to allow sufficient lead-time to obtain the correct items at the best possible price.
