Accounts Payable

Accounts Payable serves as the primary financial operations liaison for Match Charter Public School, overseeing the procurement and payment processes that support the school’s mission of delivering safe, equitable, and well-maintained educational environments. Though holding no formal contracting title, this role functions as a critical gatekeeper in the agency’s acquisition lifecycle, ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement regulations while facilitating timely disbursement for essential services. They routinely handle low-to-mid-tier solicitations for facility maintenance, janitorial services, and community-based support programs, coordinating closely with procurement officers to align vendor selections with operational needs and budgetary constraints. Contractor relationships are primarily established with local and regional service providers specializing in commercial building maintenance, custodial services, and nonprofit food program operators. While no single vendor dominates the award landscape, the role consistently engages with vetted, pre-qualified vendors who demonstrate reliability, compliance with labor standards, and familiarity with K–12 facility requirements. Working relationships are characterized by structured vendor onboarding, performance monitoring, and invoice validation processes designed to ensure accountability and fiscal integrity. Accounts Payable does not prioritize set-aside programs, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under general competition without 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences. This reflects the agency’s operational focus on service continuity and cost-effective delivery rather than socioeconomic contracting goals. Nonetheless, small businesses are regularly selected based on competitive pricing, responsiveness, and demonstrated capacity to meet the school’s daily operational demands. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 for commercial and institutional construction-related repairs and upgrades, NAICS 561720 for janitorial and sanitation services, and NAICS 624210 for community food services supporting student nutrition programs. This specialization underscores deep domain expertise in educational facility operations, with an emphasis on maintaining safe, clean, and functional learning spaces through targeted, non-capital expenditures.
