THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The board approved a Purchasing Cooperative Interlocal Agreement with Region 7 Education Service Center. This allows Joaquin ISD to buy a wide range of goods and services through Region 7 cooperative contracts instead of issuing standalone RFPs. Vendors already on Region 7 contracts gain streamlined access to Joaquin ISD, and others may need to pursue Region 7 approval to sell competitively to the district.
Interlocal agreements typically cover multi-year cooperative purchasing; this changes how many future procurements will be executed.

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.
