Eugene School District 4J

The Eugene School District utilizes OregonBuys (https://oregonbuys.gov/bso/) for posting all solicitations and public contracting opportunities.

District-wide agreements are agreements that have been set up by Purchasing and are available to use by any school or department. Below are a list of district-wide agreements that are in place for the 2023-24 school year. It is recommended to use district-wide agreements whenever possible, as all the terms and conditions and pricing have been previously worked out. Whenever possible, please include the 4J contract number in your Business Plus Purchase Request. All district-wide agreements must be processed through a purchase request or purchase order through our BusinessPlus software.

Cooperative agreements – also known as cooperative procurements or cooperative contracts – are price agreements between the government and businesses, created in order to lower the costs of procuring goods or services commonly used by multiple entities.

Cooperative agreements have already gone through the full solicitation process, meaning goods or services purchased via cooperative agreement with the business below are exempt from the “three quotes” or intermediate/full Request for Proposal (RFP) process. They’ve already been taken out for solicitation! Cooperative agreements are handy because the hard work has already been done for you.

To use a cooperative agreement, please reference the cooperative agreement number in your Business Plus Purchase Request. This will let Purchasing know you’re taking advantage of the cooperative agreement; without referencing it, Purchasing might reject your PR request if the dollar amount would otherwise require multiple quotes to proceed. If you’re working with a sales representative, please have that person also reference the cooperative agreement on your quote or invoice and attach that to your PR. This helps everyone, from Purchasing to our auditors, know that we’re taking advantage of the special pricing available via the cooperative agreement.

There are too many cooperative agreements to list below. If you would like to use a vendor and think they might have an existing cooperative agreement, please contact Purchasing or search the links below. Purchasing will then verify that the district is able to use the cooperative. All the cooperatives below have been verified and approved.
