Texas Procurement and Support Services (TPASS) awards and manages hundreds of statewide contracts on behalf of more than 200 state agencies and 1,800 cooperative purchasing members.
With a massive marketplace and billions of dollars in purchasing power, Texas offers abundant opportunities for vendors of a wide variety of goods and services, including minority- and women-owned businesses.
Products and services offered have been established through open competition and meet state purchasing and competitive bid requirements.
All State contracts have been competitively bid or are considered set-asides and therefore, do not require any additional procurement steps on behalf of the University.
