Welcome
We wish to invite all businesses to participate in the solicitation process for Bay County. Vendors may discuss products and services, delivery schedules, price ranges, types of contract, etc. with purchasing personnel and/or interested personnel in individual program areas.
Requisitions for purchases below $150,000 begin in the department areas and are sent to the Purchasing Department. The individual areas participate in locating vendors and the selection process for the goods/services they need. Vendors may contact program areas directly to market goods/services. Each department area has contact information located on their page.
Contact the Purchasing Department if you have any questions that we may be able to assist you with.
Responsibilities
The Purchasing Department is responsible for the procurement of supplies, equipment, and services for all departments under the Board of County Commissioners. Purchasing continues to successfully administer the competitive solicitation process and coordinate all associated bid awards, proposals, evaluation processes, and contract development. Purchasing also administers the County’s surplus property sales and Purchasing Card programs.
Bay County does not currently pre-qualify vendors or maintain a list of pre-qualified vendors.
Current Contracts
Bay County Board of County Commissioners contracts are now available online through Bay County’s Bonfire Public Portal. You can search through current or expired contracts then view, download, or print documents related to a specific contract.
Current Solicitations
Bay County advertises all solicitations on the publicly accessible website https://publicnoticesbaycountyfl.gov/.
The Bay County Board of County Commissioners have partnered with Bonfire Interactive to create a new procurement portal that will allow you to receive notifications of procurement opportunities and submit bids and proposals to Bay County electronically.
The Bonfire link below will direct you to the registration and login page. This is a new host, so you must register through this portal. Registration is easy and free. Please be sure to select one or more UNSPSC codes for your business or organization. The codes allow us to send you solicitations that are appropriate for your business. If you experience trouble with registration, Bonfire support can be reached by emailing them at support@gobonfire.com or directly through the Bonfire Portal.
Bay County BOCC is excited about the changes we are making to streamline our electronic solicitation process and we look forward to continuing our relationship with you and your company. As always, we appreciate your interest in Bay County Board of County Commissioners. Should you have questions or concerns, please contact our office at purchasing@baycountyfl.gov
