Purchasing
Ottawa County Purchasing is a division of the Fiscal Services Department. Purchasing’s primary responsibility is to oversee the procurement of goods and services for the departments of the County in a timely and cost-effective manner. Purchasing endeavors to maximize the value of funds expended and to provide safeguards for maintaining a procurement system of quality and integrity.
The County is committed to excellence and the delivery of cost-effective services that properly respect value of public tax dollars. To accomplish these objectives, the County engages in purchasing activities that are fair, open, and equitable. The County implements procedures designed to support and maintain an efficient procurement system of cross-departmental collaboration, innovation, quality, and integrity for all Ottawa Funded Units.
