Apple Volume Purchase Program for Education Institutions
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Operational Services Division in partnership with the
Executive Office of Education announces Apple’s Volume Purchase Program, a new program for schools purchasing educational Apps for the classroom. By using this program, schools will save 50% of the cost of educational Apps when purchased in quantities of 20 or more.
Ordering will be through Apple under the Statewide Contract (ITC44).
The program may ONLY be used as specified in the guidelines below. Details on the Apple
Volume Purchase Program are found at http://www.apple.com/itunes/education .
In summary, the program allows schools to purchase vouchers that are redeemable for educational Apps at 50% of the list price for quantities of 20 or more. However, municipal finance law does not allow payment for goods in advance of receipt. The program as defined by
Apple allows Schools to purchase vouchers and use them over an extended period of time. THIS IS NOT ALLOWED for Commonwealth Schools. The way Schools may use the program is to a) identify the Apps you wish to purchase within 30 days, b) purchase a number of vouchers sufficient to pay for those Apps using a Purchase Order, c) redeem the vouchers for the Apps, and d) pay the invoice for the vouchers. That is, you must download the Apps before paying the invoice, and the invoice for the vouchers must be paid within 30 days of invoice receipt but only after you have downloaded the Apps.
