Summary:
|
|
Government Code §§ 6500 et seq. provides that public agencies, including cities, counties, school districts, the federal government, and public agencies outside of the State, may enter into joint powers agreements to exercise powers common to them, including the power to procure equipment, materials, and supplies. Sourcewell is a public agency that operates under the legislative authority of the Minnesota State Legislature’s Service Cooperative Statute that follows procurement procedures for products and services in accordance with Minnesota Uniform Municipal Contracting Law, Minnesota Statute § 471.345, and is permitted to engage in cooperative purchasing pursuant to Minnesota Statute § 123A.21 Subd. 7(23) to serve all government, education, and non-profit agencies nationally.
All purchasing agreements offered through Sourcewell have been awarded via a competitive solicitation by a public agency/governmental entity (such as a state, city, county, pubic university or school district). By registering with Sourcewell through the approval of the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program Participation Agreement, the District is able to piggyback off the competitively procured contract in accordance with Government Code Section 6500, et seq.
The Purchasing Department requests that the Board of Education find it in the best interests of the District to participate in the cooperative purchasing program administered by Sourcewell, which will result in the District having access to competitively procured contracts. |
