Updated October 23, 2026 from the BidLasso daily digest run

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.

Where Travis County posts bids

Travis County Purchasing posts its solicitations on BidNet Direct. Registration is free: the County's Doing Business page says suppliers are not charged fees for a BidNet account, and questions about a specific solicitation go in that solicitation's Questions & Answers section. BidLasso does not collect BidNet postings, so register there to get the County's own notices.

Travis County Purchasing Office: 700 Lavaca, Suite 800, Austin, TX 78701, (512) 854-9700. BidNet support: 800-835-4603.

Open items located in Travis County

These come from the boards BidLasso does collect (City of Austin and TxDOT), not from the County's own portal.
