The Direct Purchase Order (DPO) Violation E-Notification and Response System, launched in November 2020, is a user-friendly web-based tool that identifies and notifies department Directors and County employees that have created direct purchases in violation of the County’s purchasing policies. This application was created to capture not only violations but also the departmental response and action plan to prevent future violations. It also serves as an educational tool displaying the specific violation areas and matching existing contracts that may be available to address the violation.
