Cooperative Bidding and Purchasing

This service provides a growing number of participating public school districts, other BOCES, and municipalities with a sophisticated computerized resource that enables them to fill their buying needs efficiently and cost-effectively. A team of experts creates detailed, reliable specifications and award criteria for supplies, equipment and public works projects. Possible vendors are then identified, invitations are publicized and distributed and bid awards are managed within the parameters set for its members.

The Cooperative Bidding and Purchasing website (see links at right) makes cooperative bid contract data available to participating districts and allows client vendors access to examine the bid calendar, see new bid announcements and apply to join the vendor list.

In addition, participating districts are offered a data-transfer utility, which sends bid pricing directly into their financial software for generation of purchase orders.
