San Antonio school district bids: where to find them
Every district runs its own bid portal. Here's which one each district uses, how to get on its bidder list, and the open district items in our data.
Updated October 22, 2026 from the BidLasso daily digest run
School districts buy a lot of construction, repair, maintenance and trade services, but each one posts on its own site. Use the table to register with the districts you want to work for. Registration is free on each of the portals below.
| District | Where bids are posted | Notes (from the district's own pages) |
|---|---|---|
| Northside ISD | Bonfire portal · How to do business with NISD | Free Bonfire registration; notices match your commodity codes. Bid questions: [email protected]. |
| North East ISD | NEISD eBids (Ionwave) · Bids page | Registering adds you to the Bidder's List with email alerts for the commodities you pick. It does not make you an approved vendor. Extended-response bids are usually opened Fridays. |
| San Antonio ISD | Bonfire portal · Procurement Services | List every commodity code that fits your work and upload any small, minority, women or veteran-owned certification. |
| Judson ISD | Bids and proposals | Postings run through Public Purchase. Register there to see open bids. |
| Comal ISD | Current bidding opportunities | Uses Bonfire. Register and pick your NIGP codes. |
| Other districts | Each district's purchasing page | Southwest, South San, Harlandale, Boerne, New Braunfels, Seguin and other districts post on their own sites or portals. Check each one's purchasing page. |
Open school district items in our data
From the October 22, 2026 digest data. We include districts whose posting sites allow automatic collection.
Always verify on the official posting. Agencies change dates, issue addenda and cancel solicitations. BidLasso compiles public information and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any agency.
Tips for winning school work
- Use a shared inbox (like [email protected]) for every portal, so notices don't get lost when someone leaves.
- Pick broad codes. Notices only reach you if your codes match how the district coded the bid.
- Watch summer work. Districts do a lot of repair and renovation while school is out, so those bids often post in the spring.
- Know the co-ops. Districts can also buy through co-op contracts such as BuyBoard, TIPS and Choice Partners. Getting on a co-op contract is a separate path.
School, city and utility bids in one email

Questions
Where do San Antonio school districts post their bids?
Each district uses its own portal. Northside ISD, San Antonio ISD and Comal ISD use Bonfire, North East ISD uses an Ionwave eBid site, and Judson ISD uses Public Purchase. Register on each district's portal to get its notices.
Does registering make me an approved school district vendor?
No. North East ISD and San Antonio ISD both say registering only adds you to the bidder list. You become a vendor when you are awarded a contract.
When does a Texas school district have to bid a purchase?
Northside ISD explains that contracts over $50,000 in total within a year are put out for competition using a method allowed by state law. Smaller purchases and co-op contracts (like BuyBoard or TIPS) may not be posted at all.
Does BidLasso include school district bids?
Some, where the district's posting site allows automatic collection (for example, Boerne ISD). For districts on Bonfire and Ionwave, register directly on the district portal to get their notices.
