The procurement of supplies, equipment and services necessary for the operation of Harford Community College has been delegated to the Purchasing Department as the agency authorized to make commitments against College accounts for these purposes.

The Director for Purchasing (Purchasing Agent) is charged with the responsibility of conducting the purchasing function so as to obtain the greatest benefit for the College, and to do this in accordance with legal and ethical practices of the purchasing profession. The Department is organized to serve and facilitate the objectives of the College, to make commitments in a consistent and orderly fashion and to foster a high level of public relations within the College and with College suppliers.

The Purchasing Department has the authority to order supplies, materials and equipment and to obligate the College for contractual services. Therefore, Harford Community College shall honor no purchases or commitments to purchase commodities or services unless directly authorized by the Purchasing Agent. The authorization will normally be given through the use of a purchase order signed and issued by the Purchasing Agent.

Authority to enter in to purchase contracts or other obligations of indebtedness is the ultimate responsibility of Harford Community College's Board of Trustees. This authority has been delegated within State of Maryland parameters, to the President of the College, the Vice President Finance, Operations, and Government Relations and the Director for Purchasing.
