Please contact the Purchasing Division if you have questions or require assistance.
- When payment is processed for any item or service your department has acquired for purposes of responding to COVID-19, please remember to place the COVID-19 code in the appropriate field so the transaction can be easily identified and reviewed for possible reimbursement at a later date.
