Procurement

Procurement – We oversee the procurement of all goods and services for the school district.  In addition, we oversee contracts and maintenance service agreements, review all requisitions and resolve procurement problems with vendors and suppliers as needed. We work closely with base purchasing and contracting officials and DDESS ASC officials. We prepare the necessary documents for new and amended contracts; e.g., requirements, the statement of work and required funding documents.  The majority of our purchases are procured with the use of a Government Purchase Card (GPC).  The responsibly for GPC management is shared between the Supervisory of Logistics and the School Principals serving as Billing Officials for the program, with the Logistics Support Staff and Supply Techs being the cardholders. 

To ensure that management controls are not circumvented and goods and services are correctly acquired for official government use only, the following steps will be followed before an order for goods or services are procured and payments issued: Procedures for ordering goods and services
