Procurement Department

Purpose

The Procurement Team's main objective is to help ensure that the San Francisco Unified School District students and staff have the goods and services required for day to day operations.

Procurement and Purchasing Delays

The Procurement Department currently has limited Purchasers. There is a two-week, or ten business-day, delay in processing purchase orders. In the meantime, we are in the process of replacing those positions. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

 

Procurement Clinics

In an effort to establish a deeper understanding of the contract process, Procurement will provide training opportunities as indicated below.

Below is an important message from the Superintendent.

“As a district we are working towards improving our operations. In Procurement, we want to make sure that our processes are clear and user friendly. We are requiring that at least one member from your school or department who works on contracts attend the training. This training will help ensure that the contracting process goes smoothly and that schools and departments are getting the support they request in a timely manner.
