How to do Business with Washoe County School District
Washoe County School District (District) is responsible for public primary and secondary education in Washoe County, which includes the Reno/Sparks metropolitan area, Incline Village, and Gerlach.
There are over 60,000 students attending over 100 schools throughout Washoe County. The Purchasing Department's procurement practices are governed by the District's Board of Trustees policies, regulations, and Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 332 and Chapter 338. Additional procurement-related policies, regulations, and administrative procedures can be accessed online at www.wcsdpolicy.net
The District has a relatively centralized purchasing process and the Purchasing Department manages the procurement and contract review functions districtwide. Procurement services requested from schools, departments, and sites, including those related to construction and construction-related services, and Nutrition Services are overseen by the Purchasing Department, which is the only department authorized to issue valid District Purchase Orders (PO). For verification, when District employees are picking up or purchasing product(s) directly in-person, vendors/suppliers should ask to see their respective District Employee Identification Card (with photo).
Vendors/suppliers are strongly encouraged to sign up for the District's direct deposit Automatic Clearing House (ACH) program for payments. Access the fillable Authorization Agreement for ACH Payment Non-Employee (Direct Deposit) form. When completed please email the form to the District's Accounts Payable Department.
To do business with the District and to receive automatic email notifications of Public Works (capital/construction) and non-capital goods and services solicitation opportunities, interested parties need to register online.
