Purchasing

The City of Ankeny makes every effort to do business in a fair, competitive and cost-effective manner. All purchases are to be made according to the City of Ankeny Purchasing Policy, and all purchases greater than $500 require a City purchase order.

The City's purchasing operation is decentralized. Our departments purchase supplies, equipment and services with oversight by the Finance Department.

Please submit a Vendor Registration and Substitute W-9 form to the Finance Department to be included on our approved vendor list.  If you need help completing the form, please read the Form W-9 Instructions.
