The Purchasing
Department is responsible for the acquisition of goods and
services for Cincinnati Public Schools. The department also
manages the information that is included in the formal bid
process required by the Ohio Revised Code. There is no
purchasing Web site at the moment.
PURCHASING
THRESHOLDS
Over $15,000 - Requires a formal
bid.
VENDOR REGISTRATION
Interested vendors
should submit to the Purchasing Office a letter on company
letterhead, describing the product and the company's terms of
business. Pamphlets about the product can also be
sent.
The district is eligible to purchase from Ohio
statewide contracts. The first step before a supplier does
anything else is to register with the state online. Registration gives suppliers
the chance to receive competitive bid documents in the mail
and avoid the need to constantly monitor the IT bid
website.
BID ADVERTISEMENT
Bids are listed as
legal notices in local newspapers, the Enquirer and the
Herald, and are subsequently available for pick up at the
Purchasing office.
The district lists current open
bids online. (If unable to access this
link directly, go to the homepage and click "Vendors"
icon.)
Statewide RFPs and bids can be downloaded from
the Data Processing and Telecommunications section online.
CONTRACTS
The
district uses state contracts for purchases if the state has
contracted for a price lower than the district may obtain.
State Term Schedules are established for data processing and
telecommunications accessories and support equipment and are
available online.
COOPERATIVE
PURCHASING AGREEMENTS
It's also important to realize
that the State Purchasing Office is not responsible for IT
purchases. So even though vendor registration information goes
through that office, it does not mean that they are posting
any IT-related bids and RFPs - that is the responsibility of
the Acquisitions Management
Unit.

classroom use of information and related technologies.
Major initiatives of this office include a program to
provide computers to every elementary classroom,
coordination of E-rate, and development of the
district's Web site.
The MIS units
work very closely together to establish technology
policies and standards, such as computer minimum
specification requirements and acceptable Internet
usage. Software used in the classrooms and
administrative software is selected by the MIS
Department. Teachers who wish to purchases software must
contact MIS so a technician may determine if the
software is compatible with the network.
The
teachers are responsible for choosing what software best
meets their curriculum. There are also standard software
packages loaded onto all classroom terminals. A majority
of the existing software was selected by the
Instructional Technology department five years ago.
