Purchasing is responsible for overseeing a decentralized purchasing system that reviews and processes purchase orders for commodities and services that exceed $1,000. The Purchasing Office is also responsible for coordinating and developing formal bids and requests for proposals to ensure competitive bidding and to ensure compliance with the City’s Purchasing Policy and accepted industry standards. In addition, Purchasing also is responsible for maintaining the City’s fixed asset inventory and coordinates disposal of surplus equipment.

How We Do Business
The role of the Purchasing Division is to bring together City departments and potential suppliers in order to provide the best value for the commodities and services needed to operate as a City government. The Purchasing Division follows the policies for purchasing as established by City of Oviedo Policy #12, Purchasing Policies and Procedures and State of Florida statutes.

Questions on Specifications
Questions pertaining to an ITB or RFP should be directed to the Purchasing Agent at (407) 971-5534, or via e-mail at btaylor@cityofoviedo.net. Prospective bidders are encouraged to attend the pre-bid or pre-proposal meeting, if applicable, to ask questions or to receive clarification. When revisions or clarifications to the ITB or RFP are necessary, the City will issue an addendum. All questions received before the question deadline in the ITB or RFP document will be answered in the form of an addendum. An addendum is a written document that modifies the ITB or RFP and becomes part of the ITB or RFP documents. Addenda will be issued to all vendors listed on the plan holders list in the format that the original ITB or RFP was delivered. All addenda need to be acknowledged on the bid form of the ITB or RFP document when submitting a bid or proposal.
