Purchasing

About Us

The Purchasing and Bids Department has a goal of streamlining the procurement process so JCPS staff and students can obtain necessary materials, supplies, and equipment.

Bidders must comply with the Jefferson County Board of Education's (JCBE's) equal opportunity policies. Noncompliance leads to contract termination. JCBE reserves the right to accept or reject bids.
