Purchasing

Purchasing for PUSD is centralized with the Purchasing Department in accordance with Board policy, California Education Code, and laws pertaining to public procurement and contracts.

The department follows federal, state, and local laws and regulations, fosters competition for District business, and creates a level playing field for all who desire to do business with the District. By employing best practices through competition and negotiation, our Purchasing Department accomplishes cost containment, cost savings, and cost avoidance resulting in the lowest prices and best values for our District and its taxpayers.
