Are Interlocal Agreements required and how do suppliers know if a purchaser has signed one?
The requirement to sign Interlocal Agreements is a matter of state law. In Washington, school districts that are relying on the competitive process to procure prices on equipment sold via the DigitalEdge contract must sign an Interlocal Agreement. Washington school districts can call the DigitalEdge office at (360) 750-7505 to find out if they have signed one. We recommend that suppliers encourage Washington school districts to sign an Interlocal Agreement, and that all other purchaser’s check with their own legal counsel to determine if they need one. ESD 112 cannot sign interlocal agreements with private schools; however, the DigitalEdge contract is extended to private schools.
