How Can We Help?
PROCUREMENT
Workforce Solutions Alamo (WSA) Procurement Department is responsible for managing the procurement of goods and services operations. We are committed to conducting procurement acquisitions to the maximum extent practical, in a manner providing full and open competition consistent with the standards of Office of Management and Budget Circulars, the Grant Management Common Rule, Uniform Grant Management Standards, and the Texas Workforce Commission Procurement Manual. The procurement department takes necessary and affirmative steps to contract with small and minority business firms and other Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) when possible.
Goods & Services We Buy

- Small Purchases: All purchases that exceed the micro-purchase threshold of $3,000 -$150,000
- Purchases made based on an informal request with a minimum of three quotes, with attempts made to obtain at least two quotes from Small, Women or Minority Owned Businesses
