Annual spend is estimated to be $1,115,000 based on previous years' spend.  Because these products are ordered districtwide, there is not one specific project number assigned for these purchases.  

Contract administration and evaluation is performed by the Project Manager (the "End User") and the Procurement Officer, who function as a team, by utilizing an online vendor performance report or via in-person reviews. The evaluation consists of an assessment of the vendor-provided goods and services, deliverables, and compliance with contractual requirements. The resulting data will support renewal decisions and/or alterations to a new agreement.
