Vendor Information

  • The information on this Webpage does not alter or supersede the Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) or the Arizona Administrative Code (A.A.C.).

    Purchase Orders

    Before a vendor can be issued a Purchase Order, a copy of its IRS Form W-9 must be on file in our office.  

    Potential vendors should review the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions. 

    All commitments of purchases will be made by an approved Purchase Order number assigned by the Procurement Department. Products/services are not to be delivered without an approved Purchase Order. Vendors accepting orders without a purchase order number do so at their own risk.

    Vendor Registration

    The Marana district utilizes a registration system powered by Vendor Registry. Vendor Registry standardizes and streamlines vendor registration and the purchasing process. In addition, Vendor Registry and Marana USD will be able to notify vendors of important bid opportunities in the future.  

    Prior to registering as a Vendor with the Marana Unified School District #6, read the statement below.
