In brief, what does EdBuy do?
EdBuy is a cooperative purchasing program operated by the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association (CCSESA). EdBuy goes to bid on behalf of both County Offices of Education and districts. We use the industry’s proven practices to obtain best-value pricing on a wide range of commodities. Then, we provide several value-added services by asking users to fax their purchase orders (POs) to our clearinghouse. For example, we check for errors on the PO, and then we record line-item data so we can give users periodic purchasing reports. Finally, we electronically forward the PO to the proper vendor, while monitoring the vendor’s compliance with the contract.
