The Procurement Information Management System (PIMS) is intended as a single, integrated system to support and coordinate all procurement related activities. PIMS plays a role in the entire life cycle of a purchase or procurement, and records the actions taken by all those involved including those who:

• Formulate requirements
• Enter requirements into the system
• Supervise and assign procurement work to procurement staff
• Approve purchase requests
• Request and obtain bids, quotes, or proposals
• Determine from whom to purchase
• Approve purchases or contract awards
• Receive goods
• Enter invoices
• Administer contracts

PIMS supports interfaces to other systems including an accounting system and an inventory management system.
