Purchasing
The Purchasing Department of the Public Utility Commission (PUCT) ensures that all purchases made comply with state law and the rules and regulations of the Comptroller of Public Accounts/Texas Procurement and Support Services (CPA/TPASS). Purchasing is a centralized function at the PUCT. Division purchasing liaisons submit purchase requisitions to the purchasing department for budget approval and processing.
How Can I Do Business With the PUC?
The PUCT does not maintain its own bidders list. We are required to solicit pricing only from the Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL). If you are not a member, and are interested in obtaining information about the program, you can call CMBL Registration at 512-463-3459.
Payment Scheduling
State agencies must schedule vendor payments, and where appropriate, discounts for early payment.
Prompt Payment
When properly invoiced, state agencies must make prompt payment.
HUB Certification Information
The Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) program is priority to the Public Utility Commission. The PUCT actively encourages purchasing from, and contracting with, Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) to provide goods and services to support the agency's operations.
