General Information
Cincinnati State Technical and Community College is a state institution with its own Board of Trustees. We competitively bid most of what we buy. Generally, bidding is conducted by phone or mail for small dollar purchases, and formal solicitations advertised in local newspapers for larger purchases.  As a state institution, we are privileged to use State contracts. We also participate in joint purchase agreements with the State Universities Council, the City of Cincinnati, IUC contracts, E&I Cooperative, and others.

The Purchasing Department is responsible for procurement of goods and services for the entire College family, including the Harrison Campus and the Workforce Development Center in Evendale.
