6-BPS Procurement Policy Links 08312022.pdf

This document is a procurement policy reference guide from Buffalo Public Schools (BPS) in New York, providing links to four key purchasing policies that govern the district's procurement activities. The policies address general purchasing procedures (Policy 5410), alternative formats for instructional materials (Policy 5412), procurement guidelines for federal awards under Uniform Grant Guidance (Policy 5413), and Minority and/or Women Owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs) participation requirements (Policy 5414). These policies establish the framework through which BPS conducts all procurement activities, including the field trip service opportunity for East Community High School's planned 2-night, 3-day trip to New York City for up to 40 students scheduled for May 20-22, 2026. The policies define the procurement processes, vendor selection criteria, and compliance requirements that vendors must meet to be considered for district contracts.

The document does not contain specific pricing terms, award amounts, funding sources, or contract-specific details related to the field trip opportunity. Instead, it serves as a policy reference document directing stakeholders to the complete procurement policies that govern all BPS purchasing decisions. Any vendor responding to the New York City field trip request would be required to comply with all applicable policies, particularly those related to MWBE participation requirements and federal funding guidelines if applicable to the project.
