What if I can’t ship the whole order?
A delivery normally must be made in the exact quantity called for on the purchase order unless otherwise defined in the purchase order. Partial deliveries, however, are accepted in some instances. The County will make payment on partial deliveries when:
1. A contract for the commodities or contractual services extends over a period of months
2. The solicitation/contract does not require a single payment upon completion
3. Authorization for payment is made by the receiving agency


In the case of any partial delivery, the shipping ticket and invoices must indicate the quantity being delivered and not the quantity ordered by the County.
