For School Purchasing

District purchasing, bids, contracts, and grade-level kit programs.

You have policies, budget cycles, and a board to answer to. We work within all three.

Catskill Education supports district purchasing with bid and contract expertise, cooperative purchasing programs, and volume pricing structured for institutional budgets.

And because we’re a platform, the same purchase order can cover classroom art materials, office supplies, commercial printing, and facility products — from one vendor, on one invoice.
