The primary objective of the various Inventory Operations is to provide an inventory of materials available to all College departments for the purpose of performing their daily operations. Through bulk purchases, annual contracts, and competitive bidding, substantially lower prices are available to all departments. All supplies are sold at an average costing, with no mark up or shipping charges. Inventory transactions are transmitted to chart strings/PTAEOs daily. There are several reports available to monitor all stockroom purchases. Periodically, catalogs are distributed to college departments listing the items carried in stock. Updated catalogs are available upon request.
