Our goal statement is: "More to the classroom!"

District personnel can access current bids and contracts through our SharePoint website.  

The Marion County Public Schools Purchasing Department functions under the Florida Statutes, School Board Policy and Florida Administrative Code.

As a government agency we are expected to supply information to our employees and intended vendors who supply and purchase merchandise that we use in our schools and departments.

When browsing our website you may not find the exact item you are looking for. Please feel free to call the Purchasing Department with your questions or inquiries at (352) 671-7500 .

An "Invitation to Bid Advisement" will be emailed to persons registered, notifying you of the Bid/RFP Number and Title. On the left hand side menu, choose:

• Contract Status
• Invitation to Bid/RFP
• Registered Vendor

Bids/RFPs are in alphabetical order, locate the title you are interested, click on the number. Bid doc will open, you will want to print and thoroughly read prior to submitting your proposal. Please check for any addendums that may be posted.
