APPROVAL TO PURCHASE MATERIALS AND/OR SERVICES FROM VENDORS UNDER PIGGYBACK CONTRACT WITH A LEAD AGENCY THAT UTILIZED A COMPETITIVE PROCESS FOR FURNITURE
Description
Piggybacking is the post-award use of a contractual document or process that allows an entity that was not contemplated in the original procurement to purchase the same supplies, equipment or services through that original document or process. The School Board of Sarasota County Policy 7.70 Purchasing and Bidding allows for this process subject to the provisions of law.
The Purchasing Department has researched and reviewed the competitive solicitations that are available for these purchases and has determined that the use of the attached contracts for the purpose cited presents the best value and/or is in the best interest of the School Board.
