The JTA's Procurement department is responsible for the procurement of all commodities, services, professional services, real property, construction, and any other goods or services for the JTA. The department is supported by professional staff who follow established policies and procedures based on city, state, and federal regulations and guidelines.
All bids are advertised on our Procurement Portal, as well as in the Financial News and Daily Record publications.
The JTA accepts all solicitations electronically via our Procurement Portal. This system not only allows JTA to receive bids remotely, it also helps us track vendor participation, ensure compliance, improve transparency and reduce evaluation time. Get started by logging in or creating an account or viewing open opportunities.
A solicitation, including all documents utilized for the solicitation, by JTA for goods or services where the award, if any, is to be made to the lowest responsible and responsive respondent.
A solicitation in which JTA describes its needs in terms of performance standards or criteria for one or more elements of the solicitation and respondents are requested to provide (in addition to price or economic consideration, if applicable) descriptions and specifications of the goods and services which meet or exceed the criteria or standards specified or identifies a problem to be addressed by respondents.
The only existing source of an item that meets the needs of the User Department as determined by a reasonably thorough analysis of the marketplace.
All formal procurements over $325,000 must be approved by the JTA Board of Directors. Prior to review by the Board, they are reviewed by the Procurement Review Committee (PRC). Unless otherwise noted, all meetings are held via Webex.
