Cooperative Purchasing Services

The Passaic Board of Education is seeking a vendor to provide Cooperative Purchasing Services. The selected vendor will be responsible for maximizing the district's purchasing power by analyzing prior purchases and current supply requirements, maintaining a list of all supply orders, and preparing master bids and an analysis of supply requisitions. The vendor will also be required to provide an internet-based system for accessing the Cooperative Pricing System, which will allow the district to have complete access to cooperative bid pricing year-round.

Some key points to consider: • The vendor must have at least 10 years of experience in the field of cooperative purchasing. • The vendor must be able to include the school district in the Cooperative Purchasing Program #26EDCP. • The vendor must be able to supply the district with a minimum of 15 Cooperative Time and Material/Skilled trade bids. • The vendor must provide a web-based system for accessing the Cooperative Pricing System. • The vendor must submit a price that the administrative fee does not exceed annually.
