Procurement and Purchasing for Employees

  • Each District employee is expected to further the District's mission to educate all students and to support their learning potential. The Board expects each employee to adhere to the standards set forth in Policy 4-201. While this Code of Conduct provides guidance and district requirements regarding employee conduct, it does not provide a complete listing.

    The mission for the purchasing staff is to be the essential link between its internal customers (end-users) and external customers (vendors and community) by ensuring that program services are effectively, creatively, and professionally performed, striving to achieve maximum value, and by maintaining compliance with the Arizona Administrative Codes, the USFR, FUSD's procurement policies, and the NIGP Code of Ethics.

    It is neither the role nor responsibility of the Purchasing Department to determine the purpose or intent of goods and services. That function is delegated to the Administrators, Directors, Principals, Managers, or other authorized end-user. The Purchasing Department is responsible for expediting the procurement process through qualified sources that provide the best pricing consistent with quality, delivery, and service.

    If you require purchasing training, please contact the Purchasing department for access to online training in Canvas.
