Welcome to the CISD Purchasing Department
The Purchasing Department is responsible for the procurement of supplies, materials, equipment, and services for Cleveland Independent School District. We are committed to ensuring that all State and Federal statutes and District policies are strictly adhered to. In an effort to reduce administrative costs, the District gives preference to the use of cooperative or state contracts where goods and services can be purchased at competitive prices. Cleveland ISD assumes no liability for payment of obligations made outside of an official District issued Purchase Order.
