What do we do?
We support every staff member in every department in every division, on every campus, and we do it in one or more capacities every day. Every activity on campus includes involvement or support from Purchasing and Material Management, from multi-million dollar construction projects down to daily delivery of mail.
The Purchasing and Material Management staff handle the District's purchasing, contracting, bidding, asset management, shipping and receiving, copy/printing services, mail services and records management.
With regard to Purchasing and Contracting, here is what we do every day:
- Save the District money, time and risk;
- Protect the District against liability, fraud and inappropriate business practices; and
- Procure the right goods or services, at the right time, the right way and at the right price.
