The goal of the Purchasing Department is to provide outstanding service to CVUSD school sites and departments.
We accomplish this by:
- Obtaining the best quality products a the best prices possible
- Ensuring a cooperative effort between buyers and suppliers
- Being receptive to new ideas and purchasing concepts
Per Board Policy 3310, Purchasing Procedures, the Board of Education shall consider the best interests of the District in all transactions and comply with all provisions of Federal and State codes governing public purchasing. All purchases shall be made in full compliance with the competitive bidding laws in order to obtain the lowest price consistent with the quality of materials and services desired. All bidders shall be given an equal opportunity to qualify for school business.
The Purchasing Department, in coordination with other departments and school sites, has established standard specifications for supplies, materials and equipment to meet the needs of the District.
District employees who order materials or equipment directly from a vendor or enter into a contract for any services including, but not limited to (workshops, assembly speakers, purchases at workshops) without an authorized purchase order shall assume financial responsibility for payment.
