Professional Services

The Professional Services department assists schools and offices in acquiring various types of professional services that are necessary for the operation of school sites and central operations, ensuring services are obtained at competitive prices in a manner that guarantees fairness in the selection of contractors and minimizes opportunities for fraud, waste, and abuse. District policy requires that all professional services contracts be competed in order to ensure that interested vendors are given an opportunity to submit a proposal and to obtain fair pricing.

 

See REF-102076.0 Comprehensive Guide to District Procurement for Procurement policies and guidelines.  

Schools and offices are encouraged to us P-card for purchasing good and general services under $5,000. However P-card cannot be used for purchasing professional services. Visit the Credit Card Unit for more information.

Use the Procurement Job Aid to explore the various purchasing methods available to procure different types of services, and the documentation needed in order to process procurement requests.

Please note that Procurement staff will review and oversee procurement processes, compete further as needed, and generate purchase orders after consulting with schools/offices.
