Pricing, Quotes & Best-Value Purchasing
We work with established vendors when appropriate and obtain formal quotes for purchases. Pricing cannot be guaranteed without a valid vendor quote that includes a firm expiration date.
Orders coordinated through OTIS may also be compared across equivalent vendors to help ensure responsible financial decision-making and best-value purchasing.
Quotes Required for Final Pricing
Reminder: Technology purchases should not be ordered directly. Submitting through IncidentIQ ensures compatibility review, cybersecurity compliance, vendor coordination, proper documentation, and responsible stewardship of district resources.

Purchasing Coordination & District Support

Technology-related purchases — and other purchases that benefit from centralized coordination — may be managed through the Office of Technology & Information Services (OTIS) to promote efficiency, accountability, and proper documentation.

Once a quote has been prepared and approved, OTIS can assist with each step of the purchasing process — from preparing requisitions and coordinating purchase orders to communicating with vendors and tracking deliveries.

Our team supports staff with both technology and non-technology orders, including district Amazon purchases (excluding Maintenance Department orders), to simplify the process and ensure compliance with district procedures.

OTIS serves as a centralized point of contact for purchasing coordination to promote consistency, transparency, and dependable service across Cushing Public Schools.
