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.

Electronic Bidding and Vendor Management

Bay County has partnered with OpenGov and is excited to announce beginning October 1, 2024 we will transition from a paper-based bid solicitation process to a fully automated, web-based electronic bidding and vendor management system. Registration is 100% free for vendors! To get started, click here to sign up. Our new e-Procurement Portal will allow interested parties to do the following:

  • Register to bid and receive notifications of future opportunities in the e-Procurement Portal by selecting Subscribe to create an account.
  • Follow updates to existing solicitations by finding the solicitation and clicking the Follow button. This will allow all interested parties to receive amendments and addenda automatically. 
  • Submit questions and receive answers for open solicitations. 
  • Guide vendors through the process of responding electronically to RFPs, bids, etc. to ensure submissions have been accurately completed. 
  • Ultimately, be your one location for all bid opportunities issued by the type.

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

Bay County does not currently pre-qualify vendors or maintain a list of pre-qualified vendors.
