Our Purpose...
The La Porte ISD Purchasing Office is responsible for the organization and administration of procurement/purchasing for the District in accordance with the authority delegated by the Superintendent and the Board of Trustees.
The goal of the purchasing office is to provide, at the time and place needed in the proper quantity and of the proper quality: all materials, supplies, tools, and services required for the District's operations at best value while maintaining a reputation for fairness and integrity.
This District operates a procurement system that allows site-based management with a central location for purchasing. Although purchasing is directed to a central location, the budget managers are responsible for their departments and, based on state and local purchasing policies, may make determinations on which vendors bring the best value to meet the needs of their department/campus. Having a system where the purchasing takes place in a central location allows for a more efficient process having a central contact with vendors and the business community.

Most purchases are made from vendors who have been awarded bids through the bidding process managed by the District's Purchasing Department, as well as with vendors that have been awarded a contract through our Purchasing Cooperative (Co-Op) affiliations.
La Porte ISD Bidding Process:To begin the process of becoming an awarded vendor with La Porte ISD, please follow the link below to our Vendor Registration site. This does NOT make you an awarded vendor, it ONLY places you on the notification list for upcoming solicitations. Your company must still respond to a solicitation and be awarded a contract by the LPISD Board of Trustees.
When a solicitation is advertised that matches the commodity you selected during your registration process, you will be notified via email of the bid opportunity.
If you respond and are awarded a contract, then you become an awarded vendor.
You can now do business with our district for the commodity you were awarded.
You can find information on current bids opportunities in our Current Bids page, as well as a list of historical proposal information.
Cooperative Purchasing: In addition to being awarded a contract through a solicitation issued by LPISD, vendors can be awarded contracts by any of the cooperative programs in which we participate. Below is a downloadable spreadsheet listing all vendors that have a contract with one of our purchasing cooperatives.
For additional questions or concerns, please contact us at 281-604-7062 or send us an email.
