  • To obtain the most competitive price for the products and services purchased utilizing procurement techniques that stimulate vendor competition.

Compliance

Compliance with the standards of the Texas Education Agency, Texas State Attorney General's Office, and local policy are paramount in regard to competitive bidding.  In an attempt to increase participation in the bid process, GPISD publishes all requests for bids and requests for proposals on this site.  We encourage vendors to visit our webpage in the Current Bids, RFP's, Quotes area to find the appropriate bid packet for their service and/or product to submit in the Ionwave e-Bid system.
