Mission Statement
The Purchasing Department will assist all departments with purchasing needs while maximizing the use of public funds. It will further aim to determine the sources and availability of needed products and to procure products which meet the explicit requirements of the departments at the least cost to the District. The Purchasing Department provides product and supplier information, pricing, competitive bidding, and contract negotiation services for the procurement of goods and services required by the School District from external 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.
