Purchasing

The Purchasing Department serves the needs of the College for all purchases in excess of $2500. Responsibility and authority to make commitments for these purchases is assigned to the Purchasing Department. This includes all contracts with suppliers regarding price, delivery, terms, quantity requirements, environmental impact or other matters of a contractual nature. Purchase of materials, equipment, goods, supplies or services greater than $2500 shall not be made without the execution of an electronic requisition and subsequent purchase order.
