The Finance Department’s mission is to obtain the most desirable goods and services to meet the County’s operational needs at the lowest possible cost, delivered in a timely manner, and in compliance with all County policies and applicable State Purchasing laws. Public purchasing has the responsibility to obtain the most value for the tax dollar in a fair, efficient, and equitable manner. To achieve this objective, the Finance Department seeks to foster as much competition as possible. In doing so, we adopt the goal of fairness by ensuring all who wish to compete for the opportunity to sell to Roosevelt County can do so. Our policy is intended to give all suppliers full, fair, prompt, and courteous consideration, keep competition open and fair, solicit supplier suggestions in the determination of clear and adequate specifications and standards, be cooperative with suppliers and consider possible difficulties they may encounter, and to observe strict truthfulness and ethics in all transactions and correspondence.

We take the responsibility of managing the County’s finances very serious and continue to develop and implement new safe guards and policies. Any employee or resident  with concerns of abuse or fraud is encouraged to contract Roosevelt County Administration at (575) 356-5307.
