2027-Annual Buy-700 (2027-Annual Buy-700 Athletic Equipment and Supplies)

Description: The Educational Service Unit Coordinating Council (ESUCC) is a Nebraska political subdivision tasked with coordinating statewide efforts to provide the most cost-effective services for the students, teachers, and school districts in each educational service unit (ESU). The ESUCC is composed of one administrator from each of the 17 ESUs that provide a statewide network of educational opportunities to approximately 245 school districts and more than 330,000 students ESUCC - Cooperative Purchasing is currently in its 5th decade of operation. Nebraska ESUCC - Cooperative Purchasing is authorized to coordinate purchases for public school districts, nonpublic school systems, other ESUs, and other public agencies, including any county, city, village, school district, or agency of the state government, any drainage district, sanitary and improvement district, or other municipal corporation or political subdivision of the State of Nebraska. In a continuing effort to provide quality products related services to ESUCC affiliated schools and other members, ESUCC will accept sealed Bid Proposals for its Annual Buy Program. The Annual Buy Program has been in existence for more than fifty-five years. This IFB is based on the need for ESUCC to provide the economic benefits of volume purchasing and reduction in administrative costs through cooperative purchasing to schools and other members. Although contractors may restrict sales to certain public units (for example, state agencies or local government units), any contract that prohibits sales from being made to ESUCC members will not be considered.
