Our Mission
Procurement Services supports the 91³ÉÈ˵¼º½ community with the strategic sourcing of necessary supplies, equipment, and services. We strive to accomplish this in the most cost-effective way within acceptable standards of quality and service, while adhering to standard ethical purchasing practices. The scope of strategic sourcing extends beyond price and takes into account the total cost of acquisition. Our goal is to optimize vendor relationships, leverage the entire organization's spend, share best practices, and develop and implement contracts for the entire University.
