Office supplies
And you thought you paid too much for office supplies:
State Auditor Leslie Merritt released a performance audit of the Purchase and Contract Division (P&C) of the Department of Administration today. The audit found that P&C has not required permanent, corrective action for known pricing errors and product availability issues caused by its office supplies vendor, Office Depot. Effective February 1, 2006, P&C contracted with Office Depot as the sole statewide vendor for office supplies for State government agencies. As a result of this audit, Office Depot identified and credited State agencies for overcharges of $40,887.
