About

We serve as the City of Dallas’ centralized purchasing system. We develop bid specifications jointly with City departments, solicit and register vendors, establish and monitor price agreement contracts, and issue purchase orders. Procurement maintains the register of professional and personal services consultants who are interested in working with the City of Dallas. Procurement, in coordination with Business Development Services (BDS), maintains a register of Dallas M/WBE companies in efforts to facilitate M/WBE participation in the procurement process. Purchasing also administers the sale and auctioning of City surplus property, impounded vehicles, City fleet, and unclaimed confiscated goods through public auctions.

The Business Development Services office is responsible for the ongoing development and implementation of the City of Dallas’ Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) programs through Outreach and Assistance, Contract Compliance, and Audit Verification.
