This service provides districts with an efficient bid process, and provides an effective method of cost containment. Cooperative Bidding frees district staff to perform other functions while BOCES staff members handle the bidding and related procurement process. The service includes preparing bid proposals; developing standard specifications for common items; gathering quantity estimates; preparing legal notices; awarding bids; communicating with vendors about problems and complaints; and coordinating the process with a users group.

The service currently provides cooperative bid services for cafeteria food and supplies, ice cream, bread, milk, snacks/chips/sports beverages and custodial supplies. We are open to responding to other district bidding needs as well.

2012-13 Pricing: $2,200 per district
