Online Supplier Registration
Sherman ISD, as well as all other school districts in the State of Texas, is governed by the state competitive bid law. Therefore, the majority of our purchasing is done via competitive sealed proposals.
The purpose and intent for the competitive bidding process is to help public schools obtain the best products at the lowest practical prices in the best interest of the taxpayers by stimulating competition. Sherman ISD is committed to fair and equal competition among all vendors. In addition, the state competitive bid law does not allow favoritism to be shown to any vendor.
Prospective Vendor/Supplier Registration
Sherman ISD utilizes IonWave, an online supplier registration and web-based eProcurement service. To ensure your company is included on our bid lists, please click the button below to register your company. When entering the company Tax ID number, do not enter any dashes, only numeric.
Please note: registration is not required to access the bid documents. However, registration is necessary to receive purchasing notifications and/or submit a proposal.
With e-bidding, vendors will:
- Register to receive notifications of upcoming bids in vendor’s prospective fields
- Complete and submit bids online
- Review bid tabulations and awarded bid information online
- Pay no fee for utilizing the online bidding system
All information can be submitted electronically. It is not necessary to print and send any forms to the district.
Keep in mind:
Completing registration is not intended to add a vendor to the awarded vendor list, but to make sure all those that desire to be a part of the process get notified of bid opportunities. Vendor approval status is based on the awarding of bids and proposals. Submittal of the supplier registration does not imply or guarantee to the submitter the receipt of any invitation to bid or request of proposal released.

Information Changes
It is the sole responsibility of each vendor to maintain and keep current their company's information on the District's e-bidding site in order to receive proper notification. In the event of a contact person name change, address, phone, etc., it will be necessary for the vendor to edit their company information on the e-bidding site. Options are available to retrieve your username or reset your password. If the original user is no longer associated with your company, please contact us.
