PURCHASING GOALS

It is the goal of the Beaumont ISD Purchasing Department to support and be responsive to the needs of those we serve: the students, educators and administrators of Beaumont ISD. These goals will be accomplished by the following methods:

• Manage the uninterrupted flow of goods and services to meet the district's operating needs.
• Endeavor to obtain the greatest value for every District dollar expended while conducting business in a manner consistent with exemplary business practices, district policies and legal statutes.
• Strive for a thorough knowledge and understanding of the District’s equipment and supplies in order to assist in the “best value” evaluation for the products and services purchased.
• Source and develop sound suppliers who bring value, cost effective solutions, quality products and excellent customer service to BISD.
• Foster a spirit of community by encouraging local vendors to participate in the procurement process.
