How to do business with Temple ISD

Temple ISD Online Vendor Registration and Current Bid Opportunities (Bonfire Interactive)

The Temple ISD Purchasing Office uses an online electronic procurement system called "Bonfire interactive." This electronic procurement system allows the Purchasing Office to maintain accurate information about Bonfire Interactive registered vendors and the goods and /or services they want to sell to the District. Bonfire Interactive electronically notifies those registered Vendors of Temple ISD quote or bid opportunities that are relevant to their business, and it allows interested vendors to electronically submit their bids to the Purchasing Office for evaluation.

If you wish to be considered for Bonfire Interactive electronic notification of bid opportunities that meet your company's profile and expertise, please use the Vendor Registration link below for this service. There is no charge to register.

Bonfire:

Please note that vendors not registered in Bonfire will not be notified of any TISD issued solicitations and will not be able to view solicitations located on our website until registration is complete; therefore all existing and prospective vendors interested in responding to a solicitation / Bid should immediately register on our E-Bidding platform, Bonfire. Registration is free.

After registering the district will send email notifications through Bonfire when a TISD solicitation is issued relating to the product or service commodities you selected during the registration process.

Registration does not automatically make you an approved vendor. It only provides the district with information to electronically notify you when a new solicitation is open for the products or services you offer and have selected during the registration process.
