The Purchasing Department helps administer, obtain, and manage all contracts for the SMUSD. Contracts can be categorized into two major areas: Goods & Services, or Public Works.
 

Goods & Services

When procuring goods and contracting for services (non-public works), the district must follow certain codes and board policies that dictate the type of action needed. If the district plans to spend over the bidding threshold set by CDE in any given category, the district must go to bid or utilize a piggyback contract to procure the items or obtain specific types of services.

Services:
All service contracts and agreements, regardless of the contract amount, must be approved and signed by an authorized SMUSD signer. This includes services for staff development, maintenance, professional services (such as legal, architectural, occupational therapy etc.), school performances, assemblies, and workshops. 
Please take into consideration the possible need for Board Approval when the contracted services are above $50,000.00.
