Board authorizes joining OMNIA, Sourcewell, TIPS and Bespoke cooperative purchasing programs
Summary
The Itasca School District 10 Board approved joining multiple cooperative purchasing organizations (OMNIA, Sourcewell, TIPS, Bespoke) to expand procurement options; the action was approved Jan. 14, 2026 with five members present.
The Board voted to approve Action Memorandum FY26-#28, authorizing the district to join cooperative purchasing organizations OMNIA, Sourcewell, TIPS and Bespoke. The motion was made by Member Shannon and seconded by Member Barthel; the roll call recorded five members present and two absent and the motion carried.
District administration recommended cooperative memberships to broaden procurement options and potentially realize cost efficiencies; the minutes record the authorization but do not include procurement-specific contract details or expected dollar savings, which are maintained in the district’s procurement backup files.
