Board signs cooperative purchasing, sole-source radio vendor and disposals; accepts gifts
Summary
The board approved multiple cooperative purchasing agreements and vendors for FY26–27, designated CNM Communications as sole-source radio vendor, approved disposal of surplus equipment and accepted several community donations for classrooms and programs.
The Show Low Unified District board approved a suite of procurement and property items during its June meeting, clearing the district to use several cooperative contracts, ratifying sole-source radio support and authorizing disposal of obsolete equipment and vehicles.
Cooperative contracts and vendors: Staff presented the annual list of cooperatives (including Mojave, 1GPA, SAVE and TCPN) and a vendor list expected to exceed $100,000 in purchases during FY26–27; the board approved both items. Shaye Davis explained the routine nature of the approvals and that these contracts are used annually.
Sole-source vendor: The board approved CNM Communications as a sole-source vendor for radio maintenance because staff said it is the only provider on the mountain able to service the district’s radios.
Asset disposals and donations: Katie, the finance specialist, reported on a physical inventory that identified equipment (a CTE printer, a MacBook, five 3D printers and a lathe) and previously unremoved vehicles; the board approved disposals for those items. The board also accepted several gifts and donations from local organizations and businesses, including art supplies and classroom materials valued in the packet attachments.
What’s next: Procurement approvals allow staff to proceed with FY26–27 purchases under the named cooperatives and vendors. Disposal actions will remove listed assets from the district inventory. Donations will be recorded and used by the identified school programs.
