For the sixth consecutive year, the County’s Purchasing Division has earned the 2017 Annual Achievement of Excellence in Procurement Award. We are one of only 45 agencies in California, and one of only 48 Counties in the US and Canada to receive the prestigious award.

The Achievement of Excellence in Procurement Award recognizes organizational excellence in public and non-profit procurement. The award criteria are designed to measure innovation, professionalism, productivity, and leadership attributes. The Award is sponsored by several public procurement associations, including the National Procurement Institute, the California Association of Public Procurement Officials, and NIGP: The Institute for Public Procurement.
