Information for Vendors

Purchase Order Process

Albuquerque Public Schools wants to ensure that vendors follows the procurement processes in doing business with the School District.

An approved purchase order document issued by the Procurement Department is required prior to fulfilling any request.
Approved purchase orders are issued solely by the Procurement Department and a verbal order or your company order confirmation is a non-binding order.
If District Staff does not provide a Purchase Order document, do not supply or deliver the services requested. Failure to obtain a valid Purchase Order document prior to order fulfillment may result in non-payment.
Accounts Payable will not process an invoice for payment without a current and valid Purchase Order number referenced on the invoice.
