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.
