Purchasing

The Coast Community College District's Purchasing & Contract Services, handles the procurement of quality goods, services, and construction from responsible vendors at the lowest cost or best value. The purpose of the Purchasing Department is to ensure that the procurement of goods and services is conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth by the Board of Trustees, the California Public Contract Code (PCC), the California Education Code, and other applicable laws of the State of California and the District's internal control polices. Consistent with the California Public Contract Code, the District solicits Invitations to Bid, Requests for Proposals (RFP), Requests for Qualifications (RFQ), or other formal methods of procurement for contracts exceeding bid limits. ​Vendors are welcome to visit our office to discuss their capabilities. Please contact us in advance to schedule an appointment. On occasion, we may direct you to other college departments as necessary.

Vendor Registration

Please register with our District as a prospective supplier of goods or services through PlanetBids and to obtain information on open solicitations. Vendors are responsible for registering and maintaining up to date and accurate business profile information in the PlanetBids system. Vendors may edit their profile information at any time.
