7-BPS Procurement Policy Links.pdf

This document is a procurement policy reference guide from Buffalo Public Schools (BPS) in New York, listing links to four key purchasing policies that govern the district's procurement processes. The policies referenced include the general Purchasing Policy (5410), Alternative Formats for Instructional Materials (5412), Procurement procedures for Uniform Grant Guidance on Federal Awards (5413), and Minority and/or Women Owned Business Enterprises requirements (5414). These policies establish the framework and guidelines that BPS follows when conducting procurement activities, including the Online Intervention Program solicitation for grades K-12.

The Online Intervention Program RFP seeks a comprehensive, web-based digital literacy intervention solution for Buffalo Public Schools that can identify students' instructional needs and allow independent learning across multiple proficiency levels. The program must function on various devices and be accessible both in school and at home environments. Vendors responding to this opportunity should be familiar with BPS procurement policies, particularly those related to minority and women-owned business enterprises, federal grant compliance requirements, and alternative formats for instructional materials, as these policies directly impact vendor eligibility, contracting terms, and product specifications for this K-12 intervention initiative.
