The Purchasing Office consists of Purchasing, Inventory Management and State Surplus Property. Our mission is to provide procurement and materiel management support to NOVA returning to use, its needs at the lowest possible cost, while assuring essential quality and delivery timelines are met to ensure that the college achieves its educational goals.

Purchasing is responsible for the purchase of all goods (including equipment), professional and non-professional services for use by all departments of the college. Certain delegated authority has been given to departments on a pre-approved and as needed basis. This delegated authority follows the requirements of the Virginia Public Procurement Act, the Code of Virginia and the rules and regulations of the Division of Purchases and Supply.

Inventory Management is responsible for monitoring and managing the administrative coordination of all accountable equipment for the college within the guidelines issued by the State. This includes all equipment purchased or donated with a life expectancy of two or more years and a value equal to or greater than $1,000. We maintain all inventory records to ensure proper receipt, accuracy and accountability. These records are kept on the State Fixed Assets Inventory System. When equipment is no longer needed or it is at the end of its useful life, it is either sold, transferred or destroyed. All material and equipment must be accountable to the State from the time it is delivered to the college to ultimate disposition.
