REMC Bid Project

The REMC Statewide $AVE (Schools Aggregated Volume in Education) Bid Project is a service of your REMC for the schools of Michigan. The Project aggregates the purchasing power of schools statewide and provides large volume bid prices on a variety of educational resources. Products include: supplies, equipment, software, computer & networking, paper, and catalog discounts. Michigan schools saved over $40 million in 2009.

Since 1977, nearly $500 million has been saved by schools through this REMC statewide project. Savings for 2010 will be available later this year.
This REMC statewide project, established in 1977 by the State Board of Education, complies with State School Code bidding standards, and the project's fiscal agent, Ingham ISD's Board of Education, approves the bid awards.

Each tax dollar saved through this cooperative effort represents another dollar available for additional instructional needs.

The Lenawee County schools save yearly from the REMC Bid Project. LISD CEMaT supports these schools with purchasing and comparing suggestions.
