As a Texas public school district, we follow the Texas Legislature's laws on large purchases that govern public funds. The laws are designed to ensure that public funds are used wisely. As part of our commitment to financial transparency, you can find historical data for contracts on the contracts and procurement page.

Register as a supplier

Those interested in doing business with us must apply through our supplier collaboration network, iSupplier. iSupplier is a portal program that serves as a database of interested suppliers and lets suppliers view a history of purchase orders and invoices.

Please keep in mind that registering does not guarantee approval to provide goods or services to our district. If you have any questions, email bids@garlandisd.net.

Note: Employees cannot register in our iSupplier database as a supplier and may not use their position with the district to attempt to sell or service (see Policy DBD Local).

*Identification is only required for an individual/sole proprietor.
