Purchasing

The Crandall ISD Purchasing Department oversees the purchase of goods and services for District campuses and departments in accordance with state and federal law, Board policy, and sound business practices. By coordinating purchases districtwide and using competitive procurement and cooperative contracts, the District gets the best value for every taxpayer dollar.

Every District purchase order is subject to the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions below. Vendors should also review the District’s SB 12 Contractor Notice, which explains contractor obligations under Texas Education Code Sections 11.005 and 28.0022.
