Division Head: Stephanie Letro, Acting Purchasing Agent

The Purchasing Division assists all County departments and agencies in the purchasing of required goods and services in accordance with Hawai’i Revised Statute 103D, Finance Director Rules and Hawai’i County Purchasing Procedures. It is the mission of the Purchasing Division to procure quality goods and services that meet the user’s needs, at a reasonable cost, in a fair and impartial manner, and with the maximum feasible amount of competition.

The County of Hawai’i is constantly looking for qualified vendors to provide commodities and services at the most favorable prices, as this will continue to ensure that the County’s taxpayers are receiving the maximum value for their tax dollars.
