Richardson Independent School District encourages participation by all vendors and does not discriminate against any vendor because of race, color, national origin, age, religion, gender or handicap. RISD encourages participation from HUB-certified vendors.
RISD Chief Financial Officer David Pate and his team recently attended the 10th annual Dallas Fort Worth Minority Supplier Development Council buyer and vendor mixer. CFO Pate and his team explained to potential vendors procedures to ensure they are notified of competitive procurement opportunities and answered questions about doing business with RISD.
They are hopeful that this effort will increase responses to competitive solicitations and that additional vendor fairs will return as we continue the journey to a post-COVID world.
