7-BPS Procurement Policy Links.pdf

This file is a procurement policy reference document for Buffalo Public Schools (BPS) in New York, providing links to four key purchasing and procurement policies. The document directs stakeholders to BPS's Purchasing Policy (5410), Alternative Formats for Instructional Materials (5412), Procurement procedures under Uniform Grant Guidance for Federal Awards (5413), and Minority and/or Women Owned Business Enterprises guidelines (5414). Each policy is accessible through the BPS BoardDocs portal via provided hyperlinks, establishing the framework that governs how BPS conducts all procurement activities, including the solicitation for hazardous waste management and disposal services.

The document serves as a foundational reference for vendors and internal stakeholders engaged in any procurement process with BPS. By consolidating links to these four critical policies, the file ensures that all parties understand the compliance requirements, federal grant stipulations, and diversity objectives that must be adhered to throughout the procurement process. The inclusion of minority and women-owned business enterprise (M/WBE) policy indicates that BPS prioritizes supplier diversity in its vendor selection processes, which would be applicable to the hazardous waste management solicitation and all other BPS procurements.
