Bid & Solicitation Documents

The following is a list of all formal solicitations and addendums for goods and general services offered through the SISD Purchasing Department. If you download a solicitation, you will also need to download all the addendums that may have been issued since the original bid was posted. It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure that they have all pertinent information regarding solicitations, including all addendums published for the solicitation.

Posting of solicitations on this site is provided for convenience and is not intended as the official source. SISD makes no guarantees that the technology or equipment will be available to provide information or that solicitation notices and forms will be available for downloading. SISD will endeavor to keep this site up to date, however prospective bidders should check with the Purchasing Department for all official information. Forms may be downloaded from this site and used for submitting an official bid, but the bidder must contact the official source for assurance of the completeness of information, forms, and addendums.

It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure that the most complete and current version of the bid or contract document has been downloaded or otherwise obtained, including any addendums. Incomplete bids will not be accepted.
