Thank you for your interest in doing business with the North Orange County Community College District. We are constantly seeking to expand our list of qualified vendors, and to give them the equal opportunity to compete for our business. We have implemented a web-based procurement system hosted by PlanetBids, provided at no cost to all interested businesses. The PlanetBids system allows interested suppliers, contractors, and service providers to register online and to receive automated email notifications of solicitations (Bids, RFP, and quotes) for goods and services pertinent to their business, as well as allowing registered vendors to download bid documents, received addenda, submit electronic bids, and view bid results through the PlanetBids system.

To register as a vendor and view bid opportunities, please access our PlanetBids Vendor Portal.

Both formal and informal solicitations may be processed through the PlanetBids system. The District is accepting electronic submissions only through PlanetBids. All responses are due by the date and time indicated on each solicitation and late responses will not be accepted. Vendors are responsible for registering and maintaining up to date and accurate business profile information in the PlanetBids system.

The Purchasing Department has made every effort to make all aspects of the procurement process easy, secure, and reliable. However, if you need assistance or have technical issues concerning the features related to PlanetBids, please contact PlanetBids Vendor Support at 818-992-1771 or click "Help" within the PlanetBids system for online assistance.

If you have any questions, please contact the NOCCCD Purchasing Department at ntran@nocccd.edu.
