Purchasing is a division of the City’s Financial Services Department, whose primary responsibility is to coordinate the acquisition of goods and services that are essential to city-wide operations. To fulfill this obligation, the Purchasing Division works in conjunction with the City departments to implement the best method of procurement.
Mission
The Purchasing Division’s goal is to provide excellent professional procurement services to city departments to facilitate in the completion of their departmental missions.

Online Vendor Registration
The Purchasing Division maintains a qualified list of vendors. A
vendor registration application and
commodity code listing can be completed online or through the Purchasing Division. The City requires each vendor to submit a Taxpayer Identification form (
W-9 Form) as a part of the Vendor Registration Package. If the application registration is approved, all commodities and/or services for which a vendor desires to receive a bid invitation for, is recorded. When these commodities and/or services are advertised, the registered vendors will receive a bid notification. Note that it is the vendor’s responsibility to update their registration profile with the most current contact information.
