Message from Purchasing and Procurement

Our mission is congruent to that of the College. We firmly believe in the institutional CORE Values: honesty, integrity, respect, community service. Each day is an opportunity to incorporate these values to achieve College strategic goals in the acquisition of goods, services and technology for the academic and administrative departments of the College.

Using our in depth knowledge and skills, we hope to provide you with the guidance and service whilst practicing the values and guiding principles enforced through in the State Finance Laws and the City University of New York (CUNY) Procurement Regulations governing the procurement process. The most significant ones are professionalism, transparency, accountability, impartiality and ethics.

Recently, along with our sister campuses, we implemented the robust Oracle PeopleSoft Procurement System. This system empowers you to effectively manage your Tax Levy or IFR Account(s) to procure the resource tools and supplementary materials to fulfill your needs. This tool, coupled with the guidance available on our site is the ideal recipe for operational efficiency and customers’ satisfaction.
