Adopted and Non-Adopted Textbook Ordering Procedures

Adopted or non-adopted textbooks must always be ordered on a Purchase Requisition (PR). There are no Contract Requirement (CR) textbook vendors.

  1. If you have questions regarding textbook adoption, contact a curriculum coordinator for the subject area in question (Refer to the Teaching and Learning Department Staff Web page for contact information).
  2. If texts are listed:
    Using the appropriate ordering worksheet provided on the site, enter information in the green boxes.
    Click “SAVE AS” and rename the worksheet with your school name.
    Create a Purchase Requisition (PR) online using the commodity code 090899.
    Email your saved file to maggie_wolfe@dpsk12.org. Enter the PR number in the subject line of the email to identify it.
    The Purchasing Department then converts your online Purchase Requisition to a purchase order and mails it along with your worksheet to the vendor. Do not mail your worksheet to the vendor.
  3. If texts are not listed on any adopted textbook list:
    Obtain a Non-Adopted Textbook Approval Form by clicking this link.
    Complete this form before submitting any non-adopted textbook orders. This form must come from the school principal’s email. Email form to non-adopted_textbooks@dpsk12.org.
    The Teaching and Learning Department staff reviews the request. An approval or denial email is sent within three business days. Please note during busy times and summer, the request may take longer.
    Do not generate a PR until you receive email approval from the Teaching and Learning Department. Once approved, create a Purchase Requisition online in Cayenta using the commodity code 090999. List the ISBN number or vendor order number, title, grade, vendor names and always add 10% for shipping charges.
    Delivery occurs within 7-10 working days after the vendor receives the purchase order. Contact the vendor directly if you have not received your textbooks after the 10th day.
