Utilizing cost effective methods, the Procurement Department works with all departments across parish government to acquire goods, services, equipment, and supplies that are needed to provide quality and responsive government services for our residents.

This Department is also responsible for administering public auctions on behalf of Parish departments, selling surplus movable property in accordance with Louisiana R.S. 33:4711, et. seq. Typically, four auctions are held each year, although the number of auctions may vary, depending on the need. You may view active listings by accessing Public Surplus Auctions for St. Charles Parish President's Office.
