The Finance Department procures materials, supplies, equipment and services for county departments at maximum dollar savings while ensuring the required quality levels.

The Finance Department strives to treat vendors and contractors fairly and equitably and maximize competition when possible, while protecting the integrity of the county in all areas of procurement. County purchasing agents strive to ensure objectivity in awards to responsible bidders.
