Purchasing Process

• Purchasing Policies - 5410 Procedures, 5410-R Bidding Requirements

• Technology Request Form

Employees MUST fill out a requisition form for anything that they would like to order. If the items they would like to purchase are not through the BOCES bid or on State Contract, 2 quotes are required. Please refer to the Board Policies for more detailed information on what requires bids and purchase quotes.

Requisition forms should be filled out with the vendor’s name and address, the part number, a description of the item, the quantity to be ordered, subtotal, and shipping costs (If you do not know the shipping cost, please call the company for this), a final total, telephone and fax numbers, and any other information that may be beneficial in fulfilling the order. INCOMPLETE REQUISITIONS MAY BE RETURNED!

All new vendors must be approved by the Board of Education prior to a purchase order being issued. If you are unsure, please check with the Business Office.

A. Requisition must be completed in full
B. Requisition signed by Superintendent
C. Requisitions are inputted into the accounting system to start the process
D. District Treasurer provides the first level approval (verifying funds for purchase)
E. Superintendent, as Purchasing Agent, grants final approval to issue Purchase Order
F. Purchase Order can now be printed
G. Purchase Order is sent to the vendor

At times problems occur-items out of stock, increase in prices, shipping not included on the requisitions, vendor will not take a purchase order. This delays the process.
