Purchasing
Purchasing Policy
A Purchase Order (P.O.) properly numbered, signed and authorized by Business Services is the only document by which the District obligates itself to a vendor. Business Services is the only department authorized to sign and issue purchase orders.
Vendors are strongly advised not to provide materials or services to the District without first obtaining an authorized purchase order from Business Services. Purchases made in the name of the District without a written authorized purchase order may be considered a personal obligation of the individual and not an obligation of the District.

Vendor Contacts
The District urges vendors to deal directly with Business Services. Vendors are discouraged from making sales calls directly to school sites and with district personnel. The District maintains a competitive environment in its approach to purchasing and suggests that vendors first contact Business Services for direction and advice before making any sales presentations. This will save time and minimize confusion as to proper roles and authority in the District's procurement process.
Delivery
Requirements for delivery are specified on the purchase order.
Change Order
The purchase order is the District’s contract with the vendor; therefore, any changes to the contract must be in writing and pre-authorized by the Business Services Department.
Billing, Invoicing, and Payments
Invoices should be mailed or e-mailed promptly after delivery to the following:
Keyes Union School District
Attn: Accounts Payable
4801 Lucinda Avenue
Keyes, CA 95328
[email protected] (preferred method)
Invoices should reference the appropriate purchase order number, otherwise payment will be delayed. Vendors can normally expect payment within 30 days of billing provided that proper purchasing procedures have been followed.
All school purchases are subject to state sales tax.

To be placed on the District's potential vendor list, a new vendor can register online by following the link above labeled "Potential Vendor Registration"
