Purchasing Department
In this Section
The Purchasing Department at Central Carolina Community College supports the college’s mission by providing efficient, transparent, and ethical procurement services that enhance educational opportunities and promote community and economic development. We assist end-users in soliciting competition and ensure that all state and college policies are adhered to in the purchasing process.
Doing Business with CCCC
All vendors must register their company on the NC electronic Vendor Portal (eVP). eVP provides a self-service portal where vendors can register to participate in procurement activities, participate in the state's Historically Underutilized Business program (HUB) and the North Carolina Small Business Enterprise program (NCSBE), and access public solicitations.
