When I first joined the City of Allentown’s Purchasing Department almost two years ago, I thought I had a pretty good idea what I was getting into. I spent the first seven and a half years of my career in the City’s Public Works Department but enjoyed the aspects of my job that involved Purchasing. It wasn’t until I was working in the Purchasing Department that I understood and appreciated everything they did for me while I was in Public Works. Procurement is viewed as a roadblock, simply put. People think we want to slow down the process of buying things, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Something I didn’t realize while I was in Public Works was all the rules and regulations that MUST be followed to ensure best pricing and legal procurement. I did not understand all the research and time that went into issuing one Purchase Order. With that, today is Procurement Professionals Day, and I thought I would use my first post on here to highlight some of our Procurement Team's accomplishments from 2023. We processed 1,328 Purchase Orders, an increase of over 160 Purchase Orders that we did in 2022. We approved 9,130 invoices in addition to 7,733 P-Card transactions, which is about 62% more P-Card transactions than we saw in 2022. We worked hard on 22 bids and 23 RFP’s, which included jumpstarting major projects such as the feasibility studies for the Police and Fire Departments and getting our newly inhouse Garage up and running with vendors. We issued 19 quotes, which was up about 46% from 2022. We also processed 258 contracts, an increase from the 242 contracts in 2022. These numbers not only signify how much work our small department of five has accomplished, but they also show just how much our beautiful City is growing. I’m so excited to see what we accomplish this year, not only as a small but mighty team, but also as a City. If you see a Procurement Professional today, don’t forget to thank them for all the work they are doing behind the scenes to help keep your departments running. Happy Procurement Professionals Day!
