AISD raises federal micro‑purchase threshold to $50,000 for federal funds
Summary
The board approved increasing the district micro‑purchasing threshold for federal funds from $10,000 to $50,000, aligning federal procurement limits for the district's federal awards and simplifying small-dollar procurements under federal programs.
At the Aug. 19 meeting, Director of Finance Connie Cox presented a memo recommending the district change its federal micro‑purchasing threshold from $10,000 to $50,000. Trustees approved the change unanimously.
The minutes record: "The memo changes the federal funds threshold from $10,000 to $50,000." The change applies to purchases made using federal funds and will alter the district’s procurement thresholds for relevant grants and federal programs. The board voted to approve the Micro‑Purchasing Limit for Federal Funds as presented; Mr. Journeay moved and Ms. Brewer seconded.
District staff should update procurement procedures and communicate the new threshold to departments that manage federal grants.
