About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Utilize Cooperative Purchase issued by Jones County Schools in Georgia for the procurement of Pre-K classroom furniture and supplies. The school district has identified OMNIA Partners Cooperative Purchasing as the designated purchasing vehicle and Lakeshore Learning Materials LLC as the selected supplier to provide the needed classroom furniture. The notice constitutes a public announcement of the district's intent to award a purchase order through this cooperative purchasing arrangement rather than conducting an individual competitive solicitation process.
The procurement will be executed within cost parameters established by the OMNIA Partners Cooperative Purchasing agreement. Jones County Schools has determined that utilizing the cooperative purchasing vehicle is advantageous and has documented justification for this procurement method in an attached Consortia/Cooperative Justification document. This approach allows the school district to leverage the established pricing and terms negotiated through the cooperative purchasing organization while meeting its Pre-K furniture and supply needs.
