Procurement
The mission of Procurement Services is to partner with schools and departments in delivering timely, transparent, and effective procurement services that align resources with the District’s core values of Belonging, Learning, Continuous Improvement, and Joy.
It is the district’s goal to foster accountability, integrity and equality in the procurement process to ensure quality goods/services are procured at competitive prices from responsible vendors in compliance with our Code.
The Procurement Services of Richland School District Two strives to ensure a good working relationship exists between our schools, departments and vendors. This effort helps the District to maintain a consistent flow of equipment, supplies, materials, and services to help support district staff in fostering an environment of learning for all our students. As one of the fastest growing districts in the state, Richland Two’s Procurement department works with various vendors in the area to build strong connections with those in our community to help meet the needs of the District’s over 29,000 students and 4,000 staff.
