Comment Sought on Policy on MCPS Procurement Practices

October 15, 2012

The Montgomery County Board of Education has requested community comment regarding Policy DJA, Procurement Practices. This policy recognizes the procurement practices published in the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Procurement Manual and Maryland law, establishes limits for advertising bids and obtaining bid approval by the Montgomery County Board of Education, and puts in place a process for the Board Fiscal Management Committee to review the Procurement Manual.

The board’s Policy Committee recommends combining Policy DJA, MCPS Procurement Practices, with language from Policy DJB, Bid Awards, and rescinding Policy DJB.

A copy of the draft policy, Policy DJA, Procurement Practices, is available through the Department of Public Information and Web Services by calling 301-279-3391. You also can access the policy on the MCPS website.

Individuals who wish to provide comments should respond in writing by December 7, 2012. All responses should be sent to the Office of the Superintendent of Schools, 850 Hungerford Drive, Room 122, Rockville, Maryland 20850 or sent by email to the Board of Education at boe@mcpsmd.org. All responses will be shared with the Board of Education and the Superintendent of Schools.
