P&C governs state procurement practices and NC eProcurement applications for state agencies, community colleges, universities and some local government entities, ensuring that the state acquires the goods and services it needs at fair costs which are effective uses of taxpayer dollars.
P&C's eProcurement program provides an innovative, cost-saving and efficient method of purchasing to state agencies, community colleges, school systems, and local governments through innovative technology. NC eProcurement applications allow government entities to aggregate their purchasing data in order to obtain better prices from suppliers.
