Purchasing Authorization Forms - Required for $1,000+ Purchases:
The Purchasing Authorization Forms are used to obtain the appropriate number of pre-authorization signatures for purchases of $1,000 or more. The number of pre-authorization signatures required are outlined in the district's PURCHASING LIMITS & REQUIREMENTS. This form can also be used as a purchase order equivalent to communicate orders with vendors.
