Our mission is to be a valued teammate of every educator and administrator in the Collin County Community College District (Collin College). The Purchasing Department is committed to the overall success of the college district by facilitating satisfactory receipt of all required goods and services in a timely and economical manner and to insure compliance with state and federal laws, board policies and administrative regulations.

Organization
The Purchasing Department operates under administrative services reporting to the vice president of administration/CFO in the business office.

Purchasing Function
Collin has a centralized purchasing system which requires the Purchasing Department to place all orders for all campuses. The Purchasing Department assigns purchase order numbers to all purchases, confirms all purchase orders in writing and processes all change orders.

Vendors supplying goods or services without a valid purchase order do so at their own risk. Collin cannot guarantee payment of any goods or services provided without a valid purchase order.

• The Purchasing Department strictly adheres to the Texas Education Code, Subchapter B, Section 44.031.
