BVCOG Purchasing

The BVCOG Purchasing Department is responsible for contracts worth a combined total of over $57 million. Brazos Valley Council of Governments (BVCOG) is a political subdivision of the State of Texas that complies with the same procedures for purchasing goods and services that apply to local governments. We are a unique agency because of the various ways in which we are funded - local, state, and federal. Sometimes the funding agency will dictate the purchasing rules we must follow.

BVCOG uses a competitive procurement process, allowing for open competition and a more transparent approach. In compliance with the local, state, and federal laws and regulations, our process ensures that purchases are obtained economically and efficiently. The following information will assist suppliers in familiarizing themselves with how to conduct business with BVCOG.
