Commitment to Quality

The Purchasing Department is dedicated to providing quality service to the District and to the public. We must work within the legal framework of public purchasing while providing goods and services to MCCCD staff, faculty, and students. We also need to provide opportunities to members of our business community to supply goods and services to MCCCD. Your input is valuable to maintain our process of continuous improvement. Feel free to contact us with your ideas, suggestions, or concerns.
