BJWSA Purchasing Policies

We conduct all purchasing activities in accordance with established BJWSA purchasing policies and procedures. Click here to access the policy.

Our goal is to:

• obtain the correct quantity and quality of materials, equipment, equipment components, general supplies, construction and services in the most efficient manner for the highest return on investment;
• encourage competition from interested, qualified suppliers, and to provide opportunities for suppliers to offer products and services to BJWSA;
• ensure that suppliers are treated fairly, with business being awarded to the most qualified supplier in the best interest of BJWSA; and
• maintain the highest ethical standards in all transactions.

BJWSA’s Terms and Conditions are incorporated into and made a part of all Purchase Orders issued by Beaufort Jasper Water & Sewer Authority (“BJWSA”) for goods or services provided for the benefit of BJWSA.

We encourage the use of locally-based companies in Beaufort and Jasper Counties, and have adopted a Local Preference Policy.
