Vendors, look here for information on selling to the school district: Bidder application, W-9 Form, etc.

Authority to Purchase

School District employees/representatives are not allowed to commit District funds (i.e. place orders) without an authorized purchasing document (Purchase Order or Field Purchase Order). Acceptance of an order placed without such authorization may jeopardize your payment.

Formal Competition

For purchases exceeding $30k in value, price competition must be documented via formal solicitation (IFB/RFP). Contracts for goods exceeding $30k must be approved by the FNSB School Board.

Semi-formal Competition

For purchases of items in excess of $500 but less than $30k, price competition must be documented. Depending on the specifics of the order, this may be accomplished via telephone quotes or by a written request for quotations.

Small Purchases

Purchases under $500 can be made without documented competition. End users may use their own discretion when selecting a source for such purchases. The Purchasing Department reserves the right to change sources when it is in the best interest of the School District.
