Vendors

The Purchasing Department issues all Purchase Orders to vendors via email. Hard copy purchase orders will not be printed and mailed. Please make sure you provide a valid email address on all quotes for the location you wish to have the purchase order sent.  

The Hernando County School Board Purchasing Department is pleased to announce the embarking of a new district wide initiative to provide our business partners and vendors with an automated vendor/bidder notification process called “Bidnet Direct.” All vendors are required to participate in this new electronic system in order to conduct business with the District. The vendor/bidder registration will also entail selecting NIGP (National Institute of Governmental Purchasing) Commodity Class-Item codes for products and services. Solicitation notices for upcoming bid requirements will be sent to vendor’s based upon the selected codes online. It will be the vendor’s responsibility to see company information is updated and kept current. Ultimately, this service is expected to increase your access to district bids and other solicitations.

THERE IS NO VENDOR FEE FOR THIS SERVICE, SIMPLY SIGN-ON & REGISTER

This registration does not include bid opportunities for Architectural, Engineering, New Construction or Major Renovation and Repair projects; to obtain more information on current bid opportunities for those areas please contact the Facilities Department at 352-797-7050 or the Maintenance Department at 352-797-7071. Although notifications for these two (2) departments are procedurally different from purchasing’s, you are still required to register as a vendor.

We encourage you to register.  All vendors wishing to do business with the District is required to register. The registration is FREE!
