Welcome to the City of Santa Clarita's Purchasing web page. Purchasing is part of the Special Districts of the Administrative Services Department and is responsible for:

• U.S. Mail, shipping, receiving, surplus and warehouse functions
• Providing purchasing services to City departments

The Purchasing staff consists of seven employees. Purchasing purchases most of the office supplies, services, equipment and equipment maintenance. Additionally, quote and bid preparation assistance is provided. Purchasing is very interested in promoting business opportunities within the City. All bids over $20,000 are advertised in the local papers and provided to the Chamber of Commerce and the Valley Industrial Association. For quotes under $20,000, potential vendors are taken from vendor files maintained in Purchasing or in the requesting department. Purchasing staff work very closely with Accounts Payable to make sure invoices are correct and paid promptly.
