General Information

Purchasing Cooperative


The Center’s Purchasing Cooperative aids school districts and municipalities in bulk purchasing of the following items:  number 2 fuel oil, copy paper, computer supplies, school supplies, athletic supplies, milk and dairy products, frozen foods, bread, non-food cafeteria supplies and custodial supplies.  Each bid establishes fixed pricing of goods over a specified time period without the addition of delivery charges.  Both French River members and non-members may participate in any number of bid categories.  Member districts’ annual membership fee includes bid participation.

Non-members are assessed a per bid fee.  All bids, with the exception of number 2 fuel oil, are secured in the spring for pricing the following fiscal year.  

All bids need to be received sealed - so electronic submission is not allowed by Mass General Laws, Sec. 30B.
