Mission Statement
The Mission of the Flagler County School District Purchasing Department is to provide quality customer support by providing efficient and effective purchasing services in support of the District's educational goals. We will assist our customers in obtaining products and services from appropriate sources at the lowest total cost while ensuring the best overall value. Through the development and administration of policies and procedures, we will serve as an exemplary steward of the District's resources by facilitating the acquisition process, while striving to minimize risk to the District. Purchasing will create and maintain cooperative relationships and apply sounds business practices while working with our customers and suppliers.
We will accomplish our mission in the following ways:
- By encouraging fair and open competition among the suppliers through negotiation, competitive bidding and contract buying.
- By ensuring that purchase orders and contracts contain necessary terms and conditions to insulate the District against legal liability.
- Through developing and maintaining adequate controls, records, and files.
- By working closely with our Departments and Schools and lending them our support to achieve their individual needs.
