District Fundraising Services

North East ISD has issued solicitation FUN01-25 to establish a list of approved fundraising vendors. This ongoing process requires all vendors, including those approved prior to January 2019, to apply electronically through the E-bid system. Approved vendors are granted a three-year term, though certain requirements, such as background checks and food handlers certifications, must be renewed annually. The application process requires a 25 dollar application fee and a 25 dollar processing fee for each Contractor/Consultant Affidavit submitted for fingerprinting. To be considered, applicants must submit a W-9, a Vendor Inquiry Form, and a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire. Vendors providing food services must also provide a Food Handlers Card for each assigned individual. Strict compliance is required regarding student safety, including mandatory criminal background checks and fingerprinting through IdentoGO for any personnel visiting campuses. Additionally, vendors must adhere to strict media restrictions prohibiting the public posting of photos or videos of district activities. All incentive programs must be disclosed in the application and documented on every invoice to avoid suspension or termination of approval. Deliveries are requested as freight prepaid FOB destination, with all shipping costs included in the item pricing.
