Strategic Sourcing

The Board has approved Strategic Sourcing suppliers for office supplies, educational supplies, printing services, and equipment (computers, copiers, digital duplicators, peripherals, software, computer maintenance, and computer training). These contracts are generally one to two years, with options to renew bringing the total potential terms to four or five years. The new contracts will allow schools and departments to enjoy improved pricing and service. Please note that where there are strategic sourcing contracts are in place, their use is mandatory, even for purchases under $10,000. This is required by the Board's Policy on Strategic Sourcing. Here is a list of the strategic sourcing suppliers.
