Purchasing services in the City of Irvine are provided through the City’s Administrative Services Department, Fiscal Services Division, Purchasing section. The Purchasing section’s goal is to ensure the acquisition of quality goods and services at the best value to the City. The section also oversees the competitive bidding process and supplier selection for all City departments. Contracts management services are also provided. To ensure an open, fair and competitive supplier selection process, the online supplier registration program has been developed. This system allows firms to register for consideration for future bidding and Request for Proposals (RFP) opportunities. By registering on the online system, your firm will be notified via email of bidding and proposal opportunities. While some of the City of Irvine’s bidding and proposal opportunities may not be posted on the website, the online supplier database may still be used to notify you of bids and RFPs via other methods such as facsimile or mail. Bids and proposals are due at or before the time shown for each bid or RFP. Late bids and proposals cannot be accepted. It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure that the current version of the bid document has been downloaded or otherwise obtained, including any addenda. Bids received without the applicable addenda will be rejected as incomplete. It is the responsibility of each supplier to check the City’s website for bid and RFP postings. The City is not responsible and accepts no liability in the event a supplier is not sent a bid or RFP document. The City is not responsible for and accepts no liability in the event a response is late due to network, internet, or any other technical problem or interruption.
