The mission of the Spartanburg School District 7 Purchasing Department is to support the District's goal of excellence in the education of the children of District 7 while working within the framework of procurement guidelines. It is a department goal to be available to any school, department, or employee who has a concern or requires assistance at any level of the procurement process and to respond in a prompt, positive manner. We will assist in obtaining products and services from appropriate sources at the lowest total cost while ensuring the best overall value. Through the development and administration of policies and procedures, we will serve as an exemplary steward of the District's resources by facilitating the acquisition process and provide fair and equitable treatment of everyone involved in the procurement process.
