Title
APPROVAL TO PURCHASE MATERIALS OR SERVICES THROUGH THE PIGGYBACK CONTRACTING FROM VENDORS UNDER CONTRACT WITH A FEDERAL, STATE OR MUNICPAL GOVERNMENT, OR A COOPERATIVE WITH A LEAD AGENCY THAT UTILIZED A COMPETITIVE PROCESS
Description
Piggybacking is the post-award use of a contractual document or process that allows an entity that 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 provisions of law. The Purchasing Department has researched and reviewed the competitive solicitations that are available for these purchases and has been determined that the use of the attached contracts for the purpose cited presents the best value and/or is the best interest of the School Board. The funds for these purchases are contained in the budgets allocated to the appropriate department or schools.
Recommendation
That the attached list of contracts for the anticipated purchase of materials and services, using the piggyback contracting process, be approved as presented.
