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@garland.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).

    1. Collect all required documents (listed below)*
    2. Login to the iSupplier online registration portal
    3. Complete all fields and attach all required documents listed to your application
    4. Submit form and documents

    Once all of the documents required for registration have been received and approved by the Purchasing department, you will receive an email with login information for the iSupplier network and be registered as a supplier. 

    *It is not possible to add documents after closing an application.
