Procurement Operations, Procurement Policies

HCC requires all suppliers to have an approved procurement instrument (i.e., purchase order, term contract, procurement card, blanket purchase agreement, etc.) in place prior to providing goods or services. Entering into contracts verbally or without appropriate authorization is prohibited and a violation of state law. Any vendor who delivers services or goods to HCC without a proper contract is doing so entirely at their own risk. HCC does not pay for goods or services that were provided without the benefit of a properly executed procurement instrument.
