The Business Office serves as the central resource for the College’s decentralized purchasing system. We configure purchasing policies and procedures; provide procurement tools to support the purchase of goods and services that secure the best value for the College and ensure that College purchasing complies with applicable IRS and industry standards.
Carleton College is a member of many Purchasing Cooperatives. Cooperative purchasing supports lower prices, reduces administrative time associated with product sourcing, and secures more favorable terms & conditions. Departments are encouraged to seek information on products and services from the suppliers in these Purchasing Cooperatives as their first source for products and services.
