Purchasing

The Purchasing Division supports the county by facilitating the acquisition of essential goods and services through fair and open competition. Purchasing ensures that county departments, offices, and agencies receive the best value—balancing quality, service, and price. Purchasing also processes and awards contracts for construction projects bidding events, price only, and service contracts.
