THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The district will participate in cooperative bidding through Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES for food, custodial supplies, paper, office supplies, natural gas, business equipment, and athletic supplies. This confirms they source many commodities via BOCES rather than standalone district RFPs. Vendors in these categories should ensure they are positioned within the BOCES cooperative, as that is the channel to reach this district for routine supplies and selected equipment.
Resolution explicitly lists meats, groceries, bread, milk, ice cream, custodial supplies, paper, office supplies, natural gas, business equipment, and athletic supplies.

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.
When will Friendship Central School District issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Friendship Central 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.
How can vendors engage with Friendship Central School District before the RFP is published?
