SchoolBuys - Foundation for California Community Colleges
California's "Home Grown" Education Procurement Cooperative!
SchoolBuys is a nonprofit, mission-driven cooperative procurement program committed to strengthening California's K-12 education system. With over 20 years of experience in system-level procurement, we are a time-tested program that serves multiple needs: leveraging buying power, demanding a high level of accountability from supplier partners, and reinvesting resources back into our state's education system.
The SchoolBuys program has over 100 contracts available for use by K-12 institutions, covering a broad array of categories, including furniture, equipment, janitorial and sanitation supplies, software and technology, and general operations. Key partners include KI, Haworth, Agati, Community Playthings, Laerdal, KYA, Office Depot Business Solutions, Waxie, CDW-G and SHI.
SchoolBuys leverages the buying power of education agencies across California to development contracts that best serve their needs and can be utilized by other public agencies. This program was specifically created in California to address our institutional needs.
