Viewing solicitations

Open solicitations are listed below along with the dates they are due to close. Go to the BidNet Direct to view all the “Open Solicitations”. You must register with BidNet Direct in order to view the solicitation documents.

Registering with the BidNet Direct

The information regarding Pasco County Purchasing department and Florida Bid instructions may be found here: Vendor's Guide

There is a free registration option as well as an option to pay $89.95 annual fee. The difference between the two is the free option only allows you to manually check the website and search for open bids. The fee option allows you to register, set up email preferences, and then if anything comes through which pertains to the specific commodity codes, you will receive a notification. (This is a great value the company cannot commit to searching on a weekly basis for items).

Also by registering on the BidNet Direct you will have access to all the counties and agencies who use the same system so it is not limited to Pasco County only. Those added agencies are found  on the BidNet Direct website.

We require ALL vendors to register through this system to allow equal rights and opportunities.

With each bid posted there will be a contact email, and phone number of the buyer who is handling the purchase. All direct related questions should go straight to them. However, if you don’t receive a response, nor are able to find out the specific contact information, please call the Purchasing department at (727) 847-8194.

If you have problems with the BidNet Direct website and need assistance re-registering or logging on you may call them at (800) 835-4603, hit option #2.
