EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
If approved, Hillsborough County Public Schools will utilize this contract to purchase Scholarcraft furniture from Schoolhouse Products, Inc., enabling schools and district sites to continue the established district standards in student chairs, desks, and computer tables.

In accordance with the Florida Department of Education, Purchasing Policy 6A-1.012(6), in lieu of requesting competitive solicitations from three or more sources, district school boards may make purchases at or below the specific prices from contracts awarded by other city or county governmental agencies, or other district school boards.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Establish a strong foundation of financial stewardship
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
Annual expenditures are estimated to be $90,000.  Because this product is ordered districtwide, there is not one specific project number assigned for these purchases.
EVALUATION
Contract administration or evaluation is performed by the Project Manager (end user) and Procurement Officer, who function as a team.  Reviews are performed annually or by utilizing an online vendor performance report.  Prior to soliciting a new contract, the Contract Administration team must first give consideration to the specifications and supporting data of the expiring contract.
