Committee recommends two-year office-supply contract with Louisiana Office Products

The Terrebonne Parish School Board finance committee on a unanimous, no-objection motion recommended that the board accept the lowest bid meeting specifications from Louisiana Office Products Inc. for an instructional materials and office supply catalog contract covering July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027.

The recommendation, read aloud by a committee official, identified Louisiana Office Products Inc., 2210 Edwards Avenue, Harrahans, Louisiana 70123, as the lowest responsive bidder. Committee members did not record objections during the vote to forward the recommendation to the full board.

John DeSabo, the representative for Louisiana Office Products, addressed the committee briefly and said, "Just, appreciate the opportunity to continue doing business with y'all." Committee member Mr. McBride thanked the vendor: "Thank you for coming and all that y'all do for everybody. I appreciate working with you." The record shows Louisiana Office Products currently holds the district's office-supply contract and won the new award.

The motion before the committee recommended acceptance of the lowest bid that met specifications; the record indicates the motion was seconded and advanced with no objections. The committee did not record roll-call votes, amendments, or conditions attached to the recommendation.

The recommendation will be placed before the full Terrebonne Parish School Board for final action at a subsequent meeting.

No statutes, ordinances, or other legal authorities were cited on the record for this procurement during the committee discussion.
