Utilize the BuyBoard Purchasing Cooperative VideoBuyBoardWelcome to CASB’s BuyBoard National Purchasing Cooperative Program (“BuyBoard”). Would you like to save time and money while purchasing the products and services school districts in Colorado use every day? Of course … which is why BuyBoard is for you! What is BuyBoard?Currently endorsed by CASB and eleven other state school board associations, BuyBoard is a comprehensive and well-established purchasing cooperative which can reduce costs on products and services your school district is purchasing today. CASB membership entitles your school district to become a BuyBoard member for FREE! Once you sign up for BuyBoard – which takes just a few simple steps – your school district has the ability to make direct purchases from an approved list of vendors that have already gone through a competitive bidding process. Contract Compliance Procurement compliance is one of the great benefits of using the BuyBoard. Please remember that when using any BuyBoard contract a copy of your purchase order is needed within a reasonable time to document the purchase in the BuyBoard for your bid and audit compliance, plus tracking of overall spend. If the purchase is not documented in the BuyBoard it is not compliant with the contract. “Per BuyBoard” should be on your PO to avoid confusion. BuyBoard also accepts vendor invoices that indicates the amount spent and for what product/service. If you do not utilize PO’s you can furnish a signed letter with the pertinent information. You have the choice of sending the original purchase information to the BuyBoard to process or send the original to the vendor and a copy to the BuyBoard. If you send a copy of the PO, please mark it as “Record Only”. You can send in purchase information for orders as old as 90 days. Please email purchase orders to the following: [email protected] CARES Act: Using the FundsPresentationVendorsPPE Approved VendorsFAQ's
