The City of Visalia utilizes a regional bid notification system created exclusively for the Purchasing Department within
the area. This system allows the City of Visalia to post all information needed by vendors regarding bids, quotes
(informal), request for proposals, construction notices, addenda and awards.
By establishing one centralized bidding and registration system, vendors will now have a single point of contact for
business opportunities throughout our region. The system will save the City of Visalia (and our vendors) time and
money by reducing printing, postage and mailing costs. All vendors who wish to do business with the City of Visalia
are asked to register on this new system.
Vendors may register online by visiting www.bidnetdirect.com/california/cityofvisalia.
Registration options are the following:
Option #1 is paid registration. This option emails notification of all bids and addendums from all participating
agencies. This option also allows the vendor to view award information and any other information that is posted. One
and two-year pricing options are available.
Option #2 is free registration. This allows the vendor to login and search (by agency) all bids, addenda, award
information, and any other information that is listed.
If you are already registered on this system, you do NOT have to register again.
