Under the Business and Financial Services department, Procurement and Contract Services ensures that all Glendale Unified transactions are conducted in an ethical manner that builds public confidence and preserves the integrity of an open and fair procurement process for our suppliers and contractors.
The Procurement and Contract Services department is responsible for purchasing all supplies, equipment, and materials, as well as for managing services and contractual agreements to support all district sites and offices in obtaining the best quality and value for products and services. Our ultimate goal is to support our schools and ensure that all students receive the highest quality education.
