Procurement Incentives State and Local Opportunities

City, County and State Offer Purchasing Incentives

Purchases for commodities and nonprofessional services are made through the competitive bidding process, with bids awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. Professional service contract awards are made on a best value basis that is determined during the proposal evaluation process.
