Full Time Purchasing Agent
Canandaigua VA
Canandaigua, NY
03.2019 - 02.2022
- Currently I am a full time Purchasing Agent, I acquire commercial supplies through open market, purchase order, and Federal Supply Schedule. This items that I purchase are supplies and equipment needed for use in the VA. Items purchase are needed for patient care, cleaning supplies, tools, and chemicals for laundry needed here to keep our facility running. All my orders are placed, and data is entered into a spread sheet so I can track when I am charged and when items will be arriving. I work closely with Inventory Specialists, so I understand how my orders correlate to our Inventories. Before making any purchase, I ensure that items are being procured from prime vendor or other vendors that the VAMC has contracts with and make sure we are getting the best price before sourcing out to open market. Most orders placed are paid for using a purchase card, when purchase card is unable to be used, I pay with check or certified invoice. Inventoried Items are tracked through APAR or checking the due in, in VISTA. Items that are not inventoried are closely tracked using the spread sheet and keeping receipts, invoices, and receiving reports that are all filed with the purchase order. A key component in procurement is communication. I update the IM’s daily on status of orders as well as speaking with our warehouse to ensure the items are being delivered to the right locations in a timely manner. I take pride in purchasing for our Veterans and want them to have the best experience when using our facility.
