Purchasing

The DPISD Purchasing Office is responsible for the organization and administration of procurement/purchasing for the District in accordance with the authority delegated by the Superintendent and the Board of Trustees. The goal of the purchasing office is to provide at the time and place needed in the proper quantity and of the proper quality: all materials, supplies, tools, and services required for the District’s operations at the lowest possible cost while maintaining a reputation for fairness and integrity.

Vendor Information

We maintain an electronic vendor list for bids/quotes of over 1,000 active vendors.  If a vendor does not respond to the same type of bid invitation twice, they may be removed from the bid list and not reinstated unless they request reinstatement.  This policy helps reduce postage costs and improve the quality of the bids we receive.
