Matthew Reddoch - mreddoch@esc6.net  936-435-8288

The purpose of EPIC6 is to facilitate the procurement process between members (public school districts, private schools, charter schools, colleges, and universities, cities, and municipalities, counties, state agencies), and vendors through pre-negotiated contracts enabling the member to receive better value. EPIC6 is committed to provide a proven process to eliminate procurement related stress for our members.

School districts are authorized to use purchasing cooperatives by the Texas Education Code, and as a local government entity by the Texas Local Government Code. The Texas Education Code, Section 44.031, authorizes districts to enter into inter-local agreements with other government entities, including purchasing cooperatives that are managed by a government entity, for aggregate purchases of $50,000 or more, instead of using competitive bidding.
