The Purchasing Agent completes the purchase orders submitted by county offices and departments for new purchases, maintains the vendor list, records lease-purchase agreements, and advertises for sealed bids. County purchasing practices are regulated by the County Purchasing Act as defined in 19 O.S. 1505-1507.

New vendors must complete and submit Vendor Payee (PDF) Form and W-9 (PDF) forms to Purchasing before invoices will be processed for payment.

Properly submitted purchase orders and invoices are approved for payment at the weekly County Commissioner Board meetings. Vendors may contact the purchasing agent directly with questions concerning submitting invoices for payment or when an invoice is scheduled for payment.
