Procuring goods and services using public funds is a critical responsibility of government and other public institutions including school districts, universities, colleges, cities, counties and states. This course is designed for those who work in purchasing wanting to strengthen their understanding of policies that govern how purchasing is done and when public funds may be utilized.
