Only vendors who have been pre-approved through a formal procurement process and authorized by the Humble ISD Board of Trustees are eligible to engage with district schools and departments.

The district emphasizes the importance of submitting responses promptly to be included on the approved vendor list and directs all questions to the designated buyer, LaShadre Paul, via the electronic bidding portal, with no verbal inquiries accepted. The procurement process involves multiple documentation requirements, including providing product catalogs or website links for vendor evaluation, and compliance with legal and ethical standards such as conflict of interest disclosures and asbestos safety protocols. Several documents included in the solicitation package detail the procedures for submitting conflict of interest questionnaires, tax identification forms (IRS Form W-9), and specific notices related to asbestos management in district facilities. The contract size is estimated between one and five million dollars, and the NAICS code associated with this procurement is 541715, indicating a focus on research and development in the field of marketing research and public opinion polling. The district’s purchasing department encourages potential vendors to participate actively and adhere to all submission deadlines and procedural instructions to be considered for inclusion in the district’s approved vendor list for ongoing procurement needs.
