Cooperatives
The Kaufman ISD Business Office is responsible for the centralized procurement of the supplies, materials, equipment and services that are necessary for our schools and offices to function. The Purchasing Office uses a variety of methods to contract for goods and services including the issuance of formal and informal solicitations, validation of exempt purchases such as sole source, and use of cooperative purchasing alliances. To reduce administrative costs, Kaufman ISD gives preference to the use of cooperative or state contracts where goods and services can be purchased at competitive prices.
