Procurement

Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area (WSRCA)  is responsible for managing the procurement of goods and services provided for our customers. As a nonprofit entity, WSRCA adheres strictly to established procurement methods to ensure fairness, transparency, and efficiency in all our business dealings. 

WSRCA conducts all procurement acquisitions in a manner consistent with the guidelines of full and open competition by following the Federal Uniform Administrative Requirements, and the Texas Workforce Commission Financial Manual for Grants and Contracts (FMGC).

WSRCA takes necessary affirmative steps to contract with Small and Minority Businesses, Women’s Business Enterprises, Veteran-Owned, Labor Surplus Area Firms, and other Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) when possible. 

GOOD & SERVICES

WSRCA makes purchases on the open market using various solicitation methods to include informal and formal requests.  Procurement methods may vary by dollar threshold in accordance with the Texas Workforce Commission Financial Manual for Grants and Contracts. 

• Micro-Purchases: Threshold of $0-$10,000 per purchase.
• Purchases made based on a quote(s) may be authorized and paid using a purchase, ACH or check.
• Small Purchases: All purchases that exceed the micro-purchase threshold between $10,000 and $250,000.
• Competitive Bids: This method of procurement is appropriate when purchasing goods/services for which the aggregate cost exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000.

To the greatest extent practicable and consistent with law, WSRCA will preference the purchase, acquisition, or use of goods, products, or materials produced in the United States. 

SOLICITATIONS 

All formal bidding solicitations, subsequent addendums, and awards will be published on Euna Procurement/Bonfire. Vendors will be able to access solicitation documents and submit proposals only through the Euna Procurement/Bonfire portal.
