Purchasing Services

Welcome to the Purchasing Department

The Purchasing Department at Plano Independent School District is responsible for the acquisition of goods and services in accordance with state and federal law in order to meet the needs of our campuses and departments, at the best value for the District. To learn more, please click on the Bid Process link in the left-hand menu on this page.

Plano ISD Purchasing Department utilizes an electronic bidding system called Ionwave for our bids.  Vendors interested in working with Plano ISD, are invited to register as a supplier with Ionwave.  Prospective vendors will indicate what products and/or services they are interested in providing to Plano ISD. This allows vendors to receive email notifications when the District issues new proposals. To register with our E-bid system, please follow the link below and click on "Supplier Registration" to begin the process.
