The mission of the Purchasing Department is to procure goods and services for Williamson County in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible, while adhering to the requirements of County, state, and federal regulations, rules, and procedures. It is the intent of the Purchasing Department to utilize the talents and resources of the individual County departments in the purchasing effort. After all, they are the end users and have a better understanding of their needs. This allows the Purchasing department to:

• oversee the purchasing process and assure that pertinent laws and guidelines are followed
• keep government from growing unnecessarily
• work more closely with interested vendors.
