Purchasing

The Purchasing Department works with vendors to provide goods and services to Roanoke City Public Schools. Purchasing's goals are to demonstrate good stewardship of the public's tax dollars, use best practices in the purchase of goods and services through fair competitive processes in accordance with state regulations, and provide high-quality customer service. 

Bidders that download documents from this website take the full responsibility for checking this site for any subsequent date changes or addenda. Roanoke City Public Schools takes no responsibility for informing potential bidders who download documents of changes to original documents.

Submitting a Bid or Proposal

All bids and proposals submitted electronically, in-person, or by mail must be received by the Purchasing Office by the due date and time indicated in the Bid (IFB) or Request for Proposal (RFP) document. Bids are opened on the bid opening date and time listed in each IFB. 

For an IFB or RFP delivered in-person or by mail, sufficient time must be allowed for the building receptionist to contact the Purchasing Office so that the IFB or RFP can be dated and time stamped by the Purchasing Office by the due date and time.
