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
Procurement Clinics/Training for March (Including dates, hours, and the links)
Who: Anyone who submits contracts: All Clerks, all Typists, all Secretaries, all Management Assistants, all Principals, all Managers, all Analysts.
In an effort to establish a deeper understanding of the contract process, Procurement will provide training opportunities as indicated below. The Superintendent is expecting at least one member from your school or department to attend one training (because all training within the current month is the same). The person who drafts the contract needs to be in attendance. Please share this PD opportunity with your relevant staff:
Dates & Times | Clinic/Training Content | Link |
3/27/24 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm (4th Wednesday) | The Situation of Purchasing - Arthur Online Orders - Ken How to Complete an ISA - Stephen | |
4/10/24 10:00 am - 11:00 am (2nd wednesday) | TBD |
Procurement Clinics are held every 2nd and 4th Wednesdays at the times indicated above.
If you have any specific questions or areas on the contract you would like more information on, please let us know so we can include them in the training.
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.
