Responsibilities
The Office of Purchasing is responsible for the purchase of all materials, supplies, services, construction, and equipment for all city departments and agencies, and is responsible for the centralized control and disposal of excess, obsolete, and salvageable materials and equipment. The office also oversees operation of the City's Central Mail Service, the Central Warehouse, and the Print Shop.
Through our minority program, we seek to facilitate the establishment, preservation, and strengthening of small businesses and businesses owned by women and minorities and to encourage their participation in the City's procurement activities.
