The District/OCFO requires all vendors to have an approved procurement instrument (i.e., purchase order, contract, funded blanket purchase agreement, etc.) in place prior to providing goods or services.  Any vendor who delivers goods or services without a valid contract is doing so entirely at its own risk. The District/OCFO will not pay for goods or services that were provided without the benefit of a properly executed contract.
