From the meeting
At its Oct. 29, 2026 meeting the board authorized the Director of Procurement / Purchasing Agent to enter cooperative bidding ventures with Monroe 1 BOCES, Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES, and other BOCES during fiscal 2026-2027. The district said it wants access to joint bidding for commodities, equipment, supplies, and services, but still retains the right to award or decline purchases.
This is a broad buying channel signal ahead of actual bids.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Rochester City School District's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
