Vendor Information
The Springfield R-12 School District intends purchasing to be conducted in accordance with state laws and district policies so that the taxpayer receives full value for each dollar of public funds spent. To that end, district procedures also conform to open, ethical, and sound procurement policies. Qualified suppliers are invited to compete for the districts business, which consists of a variety of goods and services.
The Purchasing Department carries out its responsibilities according to Missouri State Statutes, professional procurement practices and procedures, and rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Education. The Purchasing Department has the responsibility for administering procurement procedures on behalf of the school system.
Contracts for the district are awarded on the basis of best value to the district - price, quality, and other prescribed selection factors considered.
