Continuing its long streak of excellence, Anne Arundel County Public Schools’ Purchasing Office has earned a national award of excellence for the 14th consecutive year and 16th time overall.
The 2025 Achievement of Excellence in Procurement Award from the National Procurement Institute once again puts AACPS’ Purchasing Office in elite company. AACPS is one of just 23 school districts and 216 agencies across the United States and Canada to earn the award.
The award recognizes organizations that demonstrate excellence by obtaining a high score based on standardized criteria including innovation, professionalism, productivity, e-procurement, and leadership attributes of the procurement organization.
“I can’t say enough about the work our Purchasing Office does to help ensure that the financial resources we are provided are expended in prudent ways that best benefit our school system and our county’s taxpayers,” Anne Arundel County Public Schools Chief Financial Officer Matt Stanski said. “This award is a testament to their commitment and dedication and everyone should be proud of the work they do every day.”
