Benefits
A significant benefit of BuyBoard is the opportunity to capitalize on the program’s volume discounts for product and services with the ease of online vendor and contract sourcing. Other benefits include:

Save time

Contracts on BuyBoard have already undergone a competitive procurement process, which saves your district time and the cost of bid preparation. A unique feature of BuyBoard is the Request for Quote (RFQ) function, an electronic request that permits your district to select numerous vendors when submitting requests.
