Purchasing & Procurement Overview

All purchases of goods, services, and construction projects must comply with the New Mexico Procurement Code (Sections 13-1-28 through 13-1-199, NMSA 1978) and the guidelines outlined in Manual of Procedures (PSAB) Supplement 13.

The District’s Central Purchasing Office oversees all procurement activities to:

  • Ensure fair and equal treatment of vendors and staff,

  • Maximize the value of District funds, and

  • Uphold a procurement system based on quality and integrity.

    (As outlined in BOE Policy D-2750)

⚠️ Important:
Any violation of procurement laws or procedures may lead to disciplinary action, including possible termination of employment. Please exercise care and diligence when authorizing financial commitments on behalf of the District.

Before ordering goods or authorizing services, you must have an approved and valid Purchase Order (PO) in place. No exceptions.
