To better serve the campus community, the College has established a series of cost-saving policies and procedures for the most commonly purchased goods and services.

The object of these policies is to:

  • To competitively bid goods and services to achieve the best price and highest quality of service
  • To reduce the number of vendors used to purchase the same products
  • To reduce the number of check requisitions that are processed and the number of checks that are written
  • To reduce late fees, missed cash discounts, and sales tax payments
  • To increase the use of purchasing consortia to take advantage of volume discounts
  • To establish clear guidelines and uniform purchasing practices throughout the campus community.
