Amended Allowable Piggyback Contracts for the 2023-2024 School Year.pdf
Rationale: The District purchases office, classroom material and supplies, equipment, and other related products to support student achievement throughout the course of the school year. The purchasing staff works diligently to ensure there is an adequate number of vendor resources that can meet the needs of school sites and administrative offices when seeking procurement options. Several factors are evaluated in the selection of vendor resources, which include, but are not limited to, cost, quality, availability, participatory fees, billing/payment terms, discounts, and rebates. District staff will ensure that the use of the piggyback contract method is the most viable option when procuring office, classroom material and supplies, equipment, and other related products. Attached is a list that provides various piggyback contracts available to Azusa Unified School District to utilize for such purchases. The Board of Education approved this original piggyback contract list on June 3, 2023. Three additional contracts have been added, Apple Inc., East Networks Cabling, and HP.
Budgetary Impact:
Recommendation: It is recommended the Board of Education approve amended allowable piggyback contracts for the 2023-2024 school year.
