What has the City spent on Institutional Supplies?
$9.1M across 5,859 payments, July 19, 2017 to September 9, 2026 — 853 purchase orders and 26 vendors, run by Police.
As published: INSTITUTIONAL SUPPLIES
This budget line has run for 10 fiscal years across 853 separate purchase orders. A single payment in the register shows none of that — the commitment outlives any one order, and the orders are how it gets renewed.
