The Central Receiving Warehouse operates under the Purchasing Division of the Finance Department, supports City operations by managing the receipt, storage, inventory control, and distribution of materials and supplies to City departments and divisions.
Central Receiving ensures goods purchased by the City are received accurately, documented appropriately, and handled in accordance with established City policies and procedures. Standardized receiving and inventory control practices promote accountability, cost control, and consistency across City operations.
The Central Receiving Warehouse also supports internal asset management functions by maintaining custody and records for City property and coordinating the handling of surplus items once they are removed from active service.
Central Receiving services are provided in support of internal City operations. Public procurement solicitations and surplus auctions are administered through separate platforms and processes.
