About our Division:

The Division of Purchasing main goal is to provide a high quality of goods and services needed by all Departments within the Township in compliance with all State Laws and Regulations. The Division promotes a fair, open and competitive purchasing environment with all activities of purchasing governed by the Local Public Contracts Law NJSA 40 A. 11-1 et seq.

The Division of Purchasing is a function of the Department of Administration.

During acquisition of goods or services it is our duty to obtain prices for goods and services through Formal and Informal Quotes, State Contracts, Cooperative Purchasing, Requests for Proposals (RFP) and the proper receipt of bids.
