He shall not furnish any supplies, materials, equipment or contractual services to any department, office, agency or employee, except upon receipt of a properly approved requisition and unless there be an unencumbered balance in the account of the county department, officer, employee or agency requisitioning such supplies, materials, equipment or contractual services sufficient to pay therefor.
