Viewing Solicitations Without Registering

Prospective vendors are encouraged to register, however, if you desire to view only the solicitation documents without registering, select Current Bid Opportunities once you click the link above to register.

With e-bidding, vendor’s will:

• Register to receive notifications of upcoming solicitations in vendor’s respective fields
• Complete and submit solicitation responses online
• Review award information online

Vendor pays no fees for utilizing the online bidding system.

It will be the sole responsibility of each vendor to maintain and keep current, their company’s information on the College’s e-bidding site.  In the event of a contact person name change, address, phone, etc., it will be necessary for the vendor to edit their company information on the e-bidding site.  Passwords can be reset by the College’s Purchasing staff by calling 281-998-6117.  It is understood that all bid notifications will be sent to the e-mail address supplied by the vendor; therefore, in the event of an e-mail address change or ISP change, it is imperative that the vendor information be kept current.  Otherwise, bid notifications will never be received by the vendor and the opportunity for bid submittal will be lost.

Who to Contact Regarding a Solicitation

The Buyer's contact name, number, and e-mail address will be listed in each solicitation document. All requests for clarifications and questions must be submitting to the Purchasing contact in writing.

How to Find Out the Result of a Solicitation

Interested parties may attend the public openings. Tabulations are published in the Bidding Opportunities section of the San Jacinto College Contracts and Purchasing website.
