Procurement / RFP

BuyBoard.com is a cooperative purchasing organization that serves public entities across the United States. Its primary purpose is to streamline the purchasing process for government agencies, school districts, and other public organizations by providing access to competitively procured contracts for a wide range of products and services. These contracts are established through a competitive bidding process, ensuring that members have access to quality goods and services at competitive prices without the need for their own time-consuming procurement processes. By leveraging the collective purchasing power of its members, BuyBoard aims to save time and resources while maximizing value for public entities.

The Education Technology Joint Powers Authority (Ed Tech JPA) aims to streamline procurement, provide competitive pricing, and secure favorable technology contracts for educational agencies and other eligible entities.  The Ed Tech JPA is supported by four founding school districts, including Capistrano Unified School District, Clovis Unified School District, Fullerton School District and Irvine Unified School District.  These founding members of the Ed Tech JPA coordinate consortium purchases of high-quality products and services to benefit all of our current and potential member agencies.

Smart Procure is a data aggregator for public agency purchases.  Using a custom-built API system (as well as a 50 person strong FOIA request team), Smart Procure culls purchase data from all of the public school districts in the US, including all of the 800 school districts in California.  It aggregates all of this purchase order data into an online searchable database - basically a "Google search engine for Government Business".
