Competitive Bidding

Purchasing is responsible for soliciting commodities, construction and renovations, equipment, furnishings, instructional materials, and services in compliance with federal and state statutory regulations, Board of Education policies, procedures, and rules. Purchasing is responsible for ensuring that bid specifications and contract documents are designed to optimize the quality of goods and services while at the same time minimizing the financial risk to the school system. 

The District is a political subdivision of the State of Texas. It operates under specific legal requirements for the acquisition of goods and services. Bryan ISD is exempt from most state and local taxes. Tax-exempt forms will be supplied upon request by the Business Services Department.
