Rationale: Information Technology Department – GML 104B
Various Vendors (See Attached list of providers and allocations)
Term – July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025
Amount – Total expenditures shall not exceed the total dollar amount of $2,700,000.00
Account Number(s): Various Grant, Capital Hardware/Equipment, Contractual and Supply (General Fund) Accounts
Scope - The purpose of this resolution is to establish a listing of vendors and a set of not to exceed amounts for the District-wide procurement of computer hardware, software, peripherals, Professional Development, related services (as needed and required) as well as supplies. These purchases will be from a variety of funding sources, namely Capital funds and General Fund Equipment, Contractual and Supply accounts and various Grant funds. The vendors listed will provide the required items based on pricing from established New York State Contracts, BOCES Bids, county contracts or cooperative purchasing contracts. The Purchasing Department will create Service Agreements in the financial system, allowing purchase orders to be issued against those agreements. This will give us the ability to track purchases to ensure that the purchase orders issued do not exceed the spending limits outlined in this resolution. Should the District approach the dollar value expressed, an amendment to this resolution or a new resolution will be submitted to the Board of Trustees for approval. The allocations are based on the 2023-2024 expenditures for these vendors as well as the anticipated hardware needs going into the 2024-2025 school year to ensure that all classrooms students and staff have an equitable distribution of hardware, peripherals and supplies.
