Procurement / RFP

PlanetBids is a public-sector eProcurement platform for managing vendors, solicitations, bid documents, questions and addenda, electronic responses, evaluation, awards, contracts, insurance, labor compliance, and supplier-diversity programs. It gives agencies and vendors a shared online process with a documented audit trail. District procurement offices use it to coordinate competitive purchasing and vendor submissions.

A solicitation connects vendor submissions with requirements, evaluation, and award. Procurement and business staff coordinate approvals and the resulting contract or purchasing record while maintaining a traceable decision history.

GovSpend is the current platform associated with SmartProcure. It aggregates public-sector purchase orders, line-item spending, contracts, open bids, agency contacts, and public-meeting information so agencies can research prior pricing and vendors, compare purchasing patterns, and prepare for sourcing decisions. District purchasing teams can use it for price research and procurement planning. The information describes other agencies’ purchases and available sourcing evidence. Purchasing staff use it to inform local decisions, while district purchasing approvals and commitments remain in their own administrative workflow.

SpendBridge is a cloud purchasing and spend-management platform for guided buying, approvals, supplier catalogs, purchase requests, purchase orders, receiving, fulfillment, and spend visibility. It helps organizations standardize purchasing while giving employees a simpler way to obtain approved goods and services. District purchasing teams can coordinate requests from schools and departments.

A purchase request becomes a commitment through review, approval, and ordering. Business and departmental staff coordinate vendor, account, and receiving information so the financial record can be reconciled with the goods obtained.
