A Purchase Order issued by the Purchasing Department or from School Internal Accounts is the only legal authorization for vendors to perform services or provide commodities to the District. A commitment, either written or verbal, from District employees without a Purchase Order issued by the Purchasing Department or from School Internal Accounts does not constitute an obligation by the District to a vendor. Vendors that perform services or provide commodities without a Purchase Order issued by the Purchasing Department or from School Internal Accounts do so at their own risk and at risk of non-payment. It is the sole responsibility of all vendors to understand by accepting a District and/or School Purchase Order that vendor shall be in agreement to all District Purchase Order Terms and Conditions.
