Agency/Foundation Account Purchases

Agency Accounts:

Purchases can be made using Agency Account funds, which are funds collected for your department to be utilized throughout the year for miscellaneous items. An Agency Account utilizes Fund 60000.

Any Agency funds that were not transfered to the Foundation will be held accountable to the same standards as State appropriated funds.

Agency account purchases are subject to Georgia Sales Tax. To utilize agency funds for the purchase of equipment, the agency funds must be transferred into the department's budgeted account. The purchase must then be made using a purchase order and charging the equipment to the departmental cost center. All bidding requirements must be met when purchasing equipment in this manner.
