Local savings using the Statewide bid | Print |
Thursday, 28 May 2009 00:00
The REMC 'bid' is a statewide project, aggregating demand of schools all over Michigan to provide additional savings on materials that schools need. REMC #1 continues to promote the available savings and other value-adds of the REMC Statewide $AVE bid. The bid calculates savings not from the standard list prices, but from the actual educational list price.

Our local districts increased their savings from just over $290,000 in 2007, to over $490,000 in 2008. This savings provides more dollars back to other education needs. You can access the thousands of products available through the bid online at www.remcbids.org. REMC staff are here to help you find what you are looking for as well.
