Purchasing Department
The Purchasing Department is responsible for the centralized procurement of all equipment, materials, and supplies to be furnished, sold, or leased to the district; and for the competitive contracting of services, materials, equipment, and supplies required by the school sites and departments; and to operate the printshop, mail room, and stores warehouse.
The Purchasing Department ensures procurement is performed according to applicable laws and district policies; and coordinates purchasing through county, state, city, and consortium bids to affect cost savings. The district is a member of the North County Purchasing Consortium (NCEPC), which affords the district the combined purchasing power of 42 districts throughout San Diego County.
Our vision is to support our schools and ensure that all students, "our customers," receive the highest quality education in the most ethical, equitable, and cost-effective manner. We strive to create customer satisfaction by providing value and proficiency to each requisition and inquiry received.
