Mission

The mission of the Procurement Department is to support the scientific endeavors of our scientists by providing them with superior equipment, products, and services at a competitive cost.

Vision

In order to meet the needs of our scientific constituents, we strive to become leaders and innovators within the biomedical research community. Achieving this ambitious goal will require superior customer service and forward thinking processes with an aim to achieve operational excellence in all procure-to-pay functions. Ultimately, the Procurement Department's partnerships with our scientists, our administrative colleagues, and our suppliers will maximize the "cost-to-value" relationship, to ensure that our scientific goals are met.
