Description:
Quotes for the following projects were requested from a Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Buy Board vendor.

Staff determined that the Texas Association of School Boards, Buy Board, has an approved catalog and vendor for library furniture. The Learning Media Staff and Purchasing Staff determined that Tesco brand furniture is considered to be the District standard for Library Furniture, due to its' high quality and durability. References, quality of samples, and past usage of the Tesco Furniture indicate that Tesco offers the best long-term value.
J & S Equipment is the local vendor for Tesco Brand furniture and has been a very reliable vendor for the district for many years.
