Bidding and Solicitations
The TTUHSC Purchasing Office located in Lubbock, has the responsibility for assisting departments to make the best value acquisition of quality materials and services in accordance with Texas procurement laws. To that end, it is essential that TTUHSC Shoppers become familiar with the general purchasing procedures at TTUHSC.
State purchasing processes differ based largely on the amount and specific type of expenditure. Dependent upon those elements, certain actions are required to maintain vendor fairness, inclusion, and diversification.
Remember it is the responsibility of TTUHSC Purchasing to lead solicitations of all types. However in the event a TTUHSC Shopper would like to perform informal solicitations independently, please ensure a proper understanding of the requirements and/or contact TTUHSC Purchasing for guidance.
