Purchasing Division

The Purchasing Division oversees the purchasing function, to obtain goods and services in a transparent and competitive manner that ensures the most cost-effective use of city resources.

 Surplus Auctions
From time to time, the City of Oakland Park makes city surplus tangible property available for sale to the general public via the Internet. Tangible surplus property will be sold to the highest bidder through an Internet auction process utilizing the services of Rene Bates Auctioneers. Information may be obtained at ReneBates.

Note: All surplus property sold by the city is sold "as is, where is," with no additional warranty provided.
