Let Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative help your district's RFP procurement process by providing 38 categories of items to be bid that meet the requirements of the Texas Education Agency Audit Division and the Attorney General's Anti-Trust Office.
Please note that Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative strives to provide your district with a vast selection of vendors that have undergone a legal bid process. We cannot recommend a vendor of choice. It is at the discretion of the district to make purchasing recommendations. For compliancy on EDGAR & TEC, visit the Purchasing FAQ page. https://purchasing.esc7.net/pages/7
