PURCHASING PROCEDURE GUIDE
Purpose
The purpose of this Purchasing Procedure Guide is to provide the district with a
standardized guide of procedures and practices to apply to procurement activities
across the district, as well as to simplify state law and board policies that pertain to
purchasing.
It is the ultimate goal of this guide and policies within to ensure district funds are
being handled responsibly and in accordance with state law and board policy. A
significant amount of taxpayer dollars flow through the district, so the integrity of the
purchasing process is paramount.
The policies contained within this procedure guide are intended to comply with North
Dakota Century Code and School Board Operation Expectations. In the event of a
conflict, ND law or school policy will prevail.

PURCHASING PROCEDURE GUIDE
Ethical Considerations
It is important that all purchasing activity within the district adheres to a strict code
of ethics. WFPS staff should conduct business with vendors in a courteous and
impartial manner. All WFPS staff and involved vendors must conduct themselves in
such a way as to maintain ethical integrity at all times, and should in no way engage
or appear to engage in inappropriate actions, as outlined below.
The following actions will be regarded as a breach of ethics:
-
Sharing of information that will result in a particular vendor gaining an
advantage over other potential vendors. An example of this would be to share
bid or quoted pricing with a vendor before an award is given.
-
An attempt of any vendor to influence the decision of a WFPS staff member.
This includes gifts or promises of money or exchange of items with significant
monetary value. A WFPS staff member may accept items of nominal value for
the purposes of marketing or customer relations (mugs, pens, promotional
items, samples, etc). Any attempts to influence a WFPS staff member should
be reported to the Business Office and appropriate action will be taken. It is a
violation of NDCC 15.1-07-18/19 for any person to offer or receive a
commission, fee, or other reward in exchange for the purchase by the
district of any textbooks, furniture, or school supplies.
-
Collusion or manipulation of the bidding process by vendors. An example of this
would be two vendors sharing information and “taking turns” winning bids.
-
Unreported conflicts of interest. If a WFPS staff member feels they have a
conflict of interest in a particular purchase, they should report their concerns
to their superior and appropriate action should be taken.
-
Using the district purchasing process for personal gain. This goes hand-in-hand
with conflicts of interest. Unreported conflicts of interest may appear as
attempts at personal gain through district resources. At no point should a WFPS
staff member or involved vendor make a purchasing decision based on personal
agenda.

Purchasing Authority
According to NDCC 15.1-07-12, the board of a school may adopt policies governing
the disbursement of school district moneys by the business manager.
Authorized district employees may make purchases on behalf of the district, as long
as those purchases follow the policies outlined within this guide.
All debts that are results of purchases made on behalf of the district shall be assumed
by the board, as long as those purchases follow the policies outlined within this guide.
Anyone making unauthorized purchases will be responsible for any and all debts
incurred as a result of such purchases.

WFPS
PURCHASING PROCEDURE GUIDE
Purchasing Limits
The process by which goods and services are procured should be determined by the
following guidelines, based on the estimated dollar amount of the project. The
purpose of this guide is to stimulate healthy competition among vendors to achieve
competitive pricing for the district. Purchases and projects should not be artificially
fragmented with the intent to circumvent these guidelines.
-
-
-
Purchases up to $2000: Schools or departments should make attempts for fair
and reasonable sourcing of goods and services, but are not required to obtain
formal quotes. Factors to consider would be previous purchases/history with
vendor, delivery/shipment/installation requirements, vendor pricing (based off
obtained verbal or written quotes or published price lists), and information
gained through market research. It is important to make decisions that are in
the best interest of the district.
Purchases between $2000 and $25,000: Schools or departments must
attempt to obtain at least three formal quotes. See the attached “Quotation
Summary” form at the end of this document. The form should be filled out and
submitted for each purchase falling into this category. If three quotes cannot
be obtained, written justification must be provided (only 2 vendors replied,
only 2 vendors available, etc). There is a place on the quote summary form to
provide justification. Authorization is required PRIOR to submitting a PO
when less than 3 vendor quotes have been obtained. Seek approval from
your supervisor.
o Always contact the district’s Purchasing Specialist for guidance when a
purchase falls into this category.
o The lowest responsible quote that fits the needs of the district should be
awarded.
o Paperwork should be submitted to the business office, including the
signed PO, the quote summary form, all formal quotes from vendors,
packing lists, and other relevant information.
Purchases over $25,000: In accordance with NDCC 15.1-09-34 and school
board Operating Expectations 6.3, a formal competitive bidding process shall
be utilized (see “Description of Competitive Bidding Process” on page 9). The
requesting school or department should work with the business office to
provide specifications for the project. This process also applies to
construction projects over $25,000. Records on these purchases will be filed
in the District Office.

PURCHASING PROCEDURE GUIDE
Exceptions to Competitive Bidding
NDCC 15.1-09-34 outlines the following as exemptions from the requirement for

If a WFPS staff member feels they have a situation that falls under one of these
exceptions, they should contact the business office before proceeding.

WFPS
PURCHASING PROCEDURE GUIDE
Description of Competitive Bidding Process
Purchases over $25,000 must be competitively bid per NDCC 15.1-09-34. Any purchase
falling into this category should be forwarded to the Business Office for procurement.
-
-
-
-
Specifications for the purchase shall be provided by the requesting school or
department. Include make and model of items (if available), specifications,
and any other relevant information when making a request.
Once the needs of the requestor are determined, a request for bid will be
posted in the district’s official newspaper (The Forum) for a period of at least
10 days. The post will include an address to send sealed bids, as well as a time
and date that the bids will be publicly opened and read.
At the time and place specified, all received sealed bids will be opened and
read aloud.
The lowest responsible bidder that fits the needs of the district will be
awarded (and approved by the board). Those vendors not selected will be
notified of the results.
A purchase order will be generated and approved by the department head or
principal of the requestor. The Business Office will follow up with the vendor to
coordinate delivery and any required installation or professional services.

PURCHASING PROCEDURE GUIDE
Purchasing of Goods and Services “How To”
Do you need to make a purchase, or require a certain good or service? The purpose of
this section is to guide you, as a WFPS staff member, in the process of meeting your
needs in accordance with the policies outlined within this Purchasing Procedure
Guide.
Before we begin, some general things to note:
-
-
-
For technology purchases, please check with the Director of Technology to
ensure that potential hardware or software would be compatible with current
WFPS systems.
No purchase is to be made without approval from your supervisor, unless
otherwise approved by the Business Manager. A purchase only needs to be
approved once, whether verbal or through email, from the approval of a
requisition, quote summary form, or PO. Every PO needs to be signed by your
supervisor before it is submitted to the business office.
o Special approval IS required when a quote summary form has less than 3
vendor quotes on it.
Unauthorized purchases may become the responsibility of the purchaser.
All purchases made by the district should be tax exempt. Please be diligent in
reminding participating vendors when receiving quotes or making purchases.
The attached flow chart outlines the district’s purchasing process and should
be used to help simplify and understand the process.
Purchasing Process
It is the ultimate goal of the Business Office to ensure that you receive the goods and
services you require in a timely manner, while at the same time being responsible
with funds. When making purchasing decisions or requests, please do your best to
help out in the process in whatever way you can.
In order to determine how to handle our purchase, you need to refer to the
“Purchasing Limits” section on page 6. The limits are: under $2,000, $2000-$25,000,
and over $25,000.
-
For any purchase under $2,000, you are not required to seek formal bids from
vendors, but it is still your responsibility to seek competitive pricing. Use your
judgment to make a decision on how much time you should spend researching
possible products and vendors to make a determination on what you want.
o Once you have determined what you need, a requisition should be filled
out. Include the vendor’s name and address, a phone and fax number for
9
WFPS
PURCHASING PROCEDURE GUIDE
the vendor, each vendor item number, a detailed description of each
item, unit of measure, cost per item, total cost, appropriate budget
code, and date required.
o Any special instructions should be included, such as what to do with the
purchase order once it is generated (“send PO to me and I will order
online”, “please fax the PO”).
o Requisitions for approved purchases should be sent to the appropriate
Administrative Assistant for processing. Once a PO is generated, it will
be submitted to the vendor, unless otherwise noted on the requisition. It
is the responsibility of the submitter (the person that sent the PO to the
vendor) to follow up with a vendor to ensure processing and delivery of
POs.
o A copy of the PO should be retained for verification of the order upon
receipt. Please work with building administration to make sure goods
received are correct and in good condition. Receiving guidelines will be
discussed in a later section.
-
For any purchase between $2,000 and $25,000, the district Purchasing
Specialist should be contacted. Three formal quotes from different vendors are
required for the purchase. This requirement is set in place to help ensure that
healthy competition is generated among vendors. Use your judgment to make a
decision on how much time you should spend researching possible products and
vendors to make a determination on what you want. The Purchasing Specialist
will help in the solicitation of quotes.
o Once you have determined what you need, contact three separate
vendors with requests for pricing. Give them as much detail a you can to
ensure they are quoting you appropriate goods or services. Remember,
you should never share information with a vendor that would give them
an unfair advantage over other vendors, such as another vendor’s quoted
pricing.
o The Purchasing Specialist can take your request and either get you
information on possible vendors, or solicit quotes and get them back to
you.
o Once you have received three or more formal quotes, fill out a quote
summary form (attached). Assuming the purchase has already been
approved, you can submit the quote form to the appropriate
Administrative Assistant. You should also submit all other relevant
paperwork for the purchase, including a completed requisition detailing
the entire requested purchase and copies of the formal quotes that were
received.
 If for some reason you cannot solicit three quotes, fill in the
justification section on the quote summary form. Approval will be
required, which you should obtain at that time before proceeding.
10
WFPS
PURCHASING PROCEDURE GUIDE
o Once a PO is generated, it will be submitted to the vendor, unless
otherwise noted on the requisition. It is the responsibility of the
submitter (the person that sent the PO to the vendor) to follow up with
the vendor to ensure processing and delivery of POs.
 For those submitting POs to vendors, be aware that different
vendors process orders in different ways. If you are unsure how to
submit a PO, contact the vendor. Some will want it through Email,
some fax, some will take orders over the phone. Make sure the
vendor confirms that they have received the PO. Sometimes
mistakes are made and POs submissions get overlooked.
o A copy of the PO should be retained for verification of the order upon
receipt. Please work with building administration to make sure goods
received are correct and in good condition. Receiving guidelines will be
discussed in a later section.
-
For any purchase over $25,000, the competitive bidding process outlined on
page 8 is to be utilized. Please contact the Business Office for further
instruction if you have a purchase that falls into this category.
If at any time you feel you have an abnormal purchasing situation, or do not
understand the procedures, please contact the Business Office and we would be
happy to assist.
Receiving of Products
After all orders are submitted and processed, it is important to make sure they are
properly received and documented. Use the following guidelines for checking in
products.
-
Items will be accompanied by either a packing slip or invoice. Compare the
original copy of the PO with the packing slip or invoice. They should match up
with description and quantity. Go through each item that was delivered and
mark it down on the PO, including quantity, date received, and your initials.
o It is possible for the vendor to accidentally send incorrect product. This
may be discovered when checking in the product or later on when
opening, storing, or otherwise interacting with the product. When a
vendor mis-ship is found, contact the vendor immediately. If you worked
with someone directly on the purchase, go to them first, otherwise
contact the vendor’s customer service. Document and/or take notes,
pictures, etc. of the error to submit to the vendor. Each vendor has
different procedures for dealing with claims. Follow their instructions.
Most vendors will issue a return authorization number (RA) or a return of
goods authorization (RGA), and provide instructions on how to return.
11
WFPS

-
-
PURCHASING PROCEDURE GUIDE
Make sure the vendor processes a credit for the error and sends a credit
memo to the district office.
Next, inspect the product. If there is possible damage detected, mark it on the
PO and receiving paperwork, and make sure the shipper marks it on their
delivery paperwork or in their system. Have the driver initial the receiving
paperwork where the damage is noted. Never sign for damaged product
without noting the damage. The more you can document the possible damage,
the better. You should also consider refusing the items if they are damaged or
appear to be damaged.
o If there is product damage and you intend to hold payment until the
situation is resolved, contact the business office to put a hold on the
payment.
o Contact the vendor immediately if damage is detected. Each vendor has
different procedures for dealing with claims. Follow their instructions.
Many will require pictures of the packages to attempt to determine if
the damage happened during shipping, or if it was a factory defect.
Some will require that you fill out a return or credit request form. It is
for these reasons that documentation is important. The more proof you
have, the easier it will be to file a claim. Also remember, if the product
was truly damaged or defective when it arrived, the district should
never pay return freight or restocking fees to return the products.
o When signing for product, please make sure your name is legible.
Sometimes, only part of the PO is shipped by the vendor. Usually this is due to
some of the items being backordered. If a partial shipment is received, mark
what showed up and make a copy of the PO. Attach the packing slips from the
delivery to the copy of the PO, and indicate that only a partial shipment was
received. Send the PO and attached notes, documentation, etc. to the business
office for processing. Retain the original copy of the PO, you will need it when
the rest of the shipment arrives. When it does, complete the paperwork and
indicate which items arrived on the following delivery. Send to the district
office for processing.
o When a shipment is missing items, be sure to follow up with the vendor
to determine the status of the missing items. Most of the time,
backorders are the cause of partial shipments. Occasionally, the vendor
shorts product by accident. In those cases, following up with the vendor
is the best way to figure out there was a short, and correct the
situation.
o Most of the time, invoices are sent directly to the district office. If a
vendor ever sends you an invoice, please forward it to the business
office for processing.
Please make sure to submit all relevant paperwork with the signed PO,
including requisitions, quote summary forms, all vendor quotes, vendor
communications, and anything else that may be relevant to the purchase. All of

PURCHASING PROCEDURE GUIDE
the attached documentation will be filed at the district office and retained in
accordance with board policy.
List of Vendors
The purpose of this section is to simplify the research involved in obtaining goods or
services. When looking for a source or seeking prices for goods or services, it is
suggested that you start with this list.
The names in bold on the following list of vendors are “preferred” vendors for WFPS.
A vendor will be considered “preferred” for different reasons. Some will have
negotiated pricing, some have a good history with the district, some have trusted or
unique product offerings, etc. They are a good place to start.
Please consider all listed information when contacting a vendor. If a contract is listed,
please refer to that contract when requesting a quote. If there is an individual listed,
that is our account rep for that vendor. They will be a great resource in getting a
good quote. Remember to not share information with a vendor that would give them
an unfair advantage. It is, however, ok to let them know that you are
seeking/receiving multiple quotes from other vendors.
WFPS is constantly in negotiations with vendors, so look for this list to change and
grow. Revisions will be communicated to the district.
