Mission

We are dedicated to providing the greatest value to our stakeholders, ensuring that all purchases are timely, ethical, transparent, and provide equal opportunity and the best value to the City. We strive to protect the integrity of the process and identify resources to provide the highest quality of goods and services to better serve our community.

Doing Business with the City

We use two different systems in the Purchasing process. The first system we use is VSS. We use this to pay vendors. The second system we use is the MITN Purchasing Group. This is our procurement process where you will find all of our current bid opportunities and awarded solicitations.
