How to Do Business with Creighton Elementary School District

Vendor Registration Form and W-9

In order for a CESD school or department to create a purchase order for a given vendor, that vendor must be set up in our ERP system as a registered vendor.  Suppliers can be established by the completion of the CESD Vendor Registration Form and submission of a signed and completed W-9 form.  These documents can be emailed to the Purchasing department at rayers@creightonschools.org.

 W9 

Vendor Registration Form

**Special note: submitting a vendor registration form and W-9 does not place your firm on the prospective bidder list.  Please see the information below regarding Formal Competitive Solicitations for instructions on registering for our bidder list. 

Purchase Orders

All commitments of purchases by Creighton Elementary School District will be made by an approved purchase order number assigned by the Purchasing Department.

 No authorization, verbal or otherwise, to deliver merchandise and/or services is given without an authorized Purchase Order.  Any vendor or person who delivers merchandise and/or services to the District without an approved Purchase Order is at risk of not receiving payment.

 The substitution of items without the prior written approval of the Purchasing Department is prohibited. Only those items specifically listed on a purchase order may be delivered. The schools and departments within this district do not have the authority to substitute without the Purchasing Department’s approval. You may verify purchase orders by contacting the Purchasing Department at 602-381-6150.

Sales Tax

Arizona school districts are not exempt from paying sales/use taxes. Sales tax added to invoices from Arizona vendors will be paid by the district to the vendor. Use tax will be paid directly to the State of Arizona on invoices from out-of-state vendors.

Payment

CESD requires a 3-way match of a purchase order, vendor invoice, and packing list/receipt of the goods/services purchased. Purchases must be shipped to the ship to address listed on the purchase order, and invoices must be mailed to Accounts Payable at the district office address listed on the purchase order (unless there are special directions in the body of the purchase order). Invoices can be emailed to Accounts Payable at csdap@creightonschools.org.  The CESD Purchase order number must be referenced on both packing slips and invoices.
