Waycross College

Purchasing Office

The Purchasing Department is responsible for approving all acquisitions and ensuring that all acquisition processes are conducted in a legal and ethical manner as defined by the Georgia Procurement Code and any appropriate Federal regulations and policies of the Board of Regents.  The department is located in the Administrative Building in the Business Affairs. Waycross College has as its policy to deal with reputable businesses that are in compliance with the laws and regulations that are applicable. The College's Purchasing Departments objective is to secure the "lowest and best" price; and our ordinance requires that the awards be made to the most responsive and responsible vendor. The following paragraphs outline the methods of procurement and operation of Waycross College:

  1. Waycross College does not permit solicitation by vendors to its individual departments. Sales representatives are welcomed but are advised to call for an appointment. Please contact Rhonda Blount at 912-449-7531.
  2. All purchases must be approved by the Purchasing Department which assigns purchase orders.
