Doing Business with APS (Vendors)
To protect the staff and program against undue invasion of the school or work day, sales representatives shall not be permitted in schools or other departments for the purpose of making sales unless authorized to do so by the Director of Materials Management or his/her designee. If special or technical details concerning goods or services to be purchased are required, the involvement of vendors should be coordinated through the Purchasing Department. Vendors may send product information through U.S. mail. The schools names and addresses are listed on the District web site.
Aurora Public Schools utilizes the Rocky Mountain Bid System. Please see below for additional information:
