The Purchasing Department's Mission is to continually identify and incorporate innovative purchasing practices that will support the teaching, and service efforts of Donna ISD.
Our Vision is to create customer satisfaction by providing value and efficiency to each purchase request while adhering to the District's policy, state law, and sound business practices.
VENDOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
A system for the evaluation of vendor performance is an important aspect of purchasing. Problems encountered by a particular school or department can be avoided by other District entities when these occurrences are documented and communicated to the Purchasing Department. This record of information about vendor performance is very important in the evaluation of the vendor. Factors to consider for inclusion in the evaluation are:
• Timeliness of deliveries
• Service availability
• Completeness and accuracy of order
• Quality of products or services received
If the problem is not resolved or continues, written notification stating the problem, the corrective action required and the vendor’s failure to correct the problem will be considered a breach of contract and could result in the cancellation of the contract. Please document the information on the Vendor Complaint Form and email a copy to the Purchasing Director, Joe Smedley at joe.smedley@donnaisd.net.
