From the meeting

The district's 2025-26 external audit report, accepted by the Board of Education on October 27, 2026, found two purchases over the public bidding threshold made through a cooperative purchasing agreement without proof that the cooperative properly awarded the contracts under General Municipal Law. The corrective action plan says the purchasing agent will create a justification checklist for cooperative purchases, attach completed checklists to requisitions, and cite the cooperative contract number. Legal counsel will verify cooperative purchases on the capital fund.

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 Cortland 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.
