What Does It Mean?

Police
/puh-LEES/
noun
The civil force responsible for maintaining public order, preventing and detecting crime, and generating approximately 40% of all television content produced since 1950. In a procurement context: the customer. Police departments are major institutional buyers of everything from vehicles and body armor to software and forensic equipment. They have budgets, RFP processes, and a strong preference for vendors who don't waste their time.
Origin: From Latin politia, from Greek politeia, "citizenship, government, civil administration." The word evolved from meaning "the administration of a city" to meaning "the people who enforce its laws." Both meanings involve a lot of paperwork.
Usage: "Who's the buyer?" "Police." "Big buyer?" "They have tanks. Yes, big buyer."
Sourcing
/SOR-sing/
gerund / noun
The process of finding, evaluating, and selecting suppliers for goods or services. In corporate speak: "strategic sourcing." In normal speak: "shopping, but with spreadsheets." Sourcing is the unglamorous backbone of every organization — the reason your equipment shows up, your software works, and your budget eventually reaches zero. Good sourcing saves money. Great sourcing saves careers.
Origin: From Old French sourse, "a rising, a spring" (water source). The procurement meaning emerged in the 20th century when businesses realized that finding the right supplier was important enough to deserve its own verb, its own department, and its own conferences in Orlando.
Usage: "What do you do?" "Sourcing." "For?" "Police." "That sounds important." "It is. Nobody notices until something doesn't show up."
