Bid & Plan

Southwestern Community College District (SWCCD) welcomes contractors, consultants, and suppliers interested in supporting campus improvements through its Bond Program. This page provides access to procurement opportunities, solicitation documents, bid results, and vendor registration through the District’s official PlanetBids portal. Firms should review each solicitation for specific requirements and deadlines and monitor the portal for updates and addenda.

Stay Connected with SWCCD Bid Opportunities

SWCCD uses PlanetBids as its official electronic procurement portal. Interested firms can view opportunities, receive notices, submit electronic responses, and access procurement updates.

  • Register specifically with Southwestern Community College District.
  • Select accurate commodity codes and service categories.
  • Keep your firm’s contacts and profile information current.

Registration with another agency on PlanetBids does not automatically register your firm with SWCCD.

Solicitation Documents and Submission Requirements

Visit the SWCCD PlanetBids Vendor Portal to view available solicitations and associated documents, including plans, specifications, and addenda, as applicable.

Each solicitation establishes its own eligibility requirements, submission method, deadlines, required forms, and any mandatory meetings or site visits. Review the complete solicitation before preparing a response. Vendor registration does not constitute prequalification or guarantee an invitation, notification, or contract award.

Questions and Addenda

Questions about an active solicitation must be submitted through PlanetBids in accordance with the solicitation instructions and question deadline. Refer to the solicitation and any District-issued addenda for official requirements and changes.

Firms are responsible for monitoring the solicitation for updates, reviewing all addenda, and acknowledging them as required. Do not rely solely on automated email notifications.

Submitting Your Response

Follow the submission instructions provided in the solicitation. Allow sufficient time to upload documents and complete any required electronic submission steps before the stated deadline. For technical assistance, use the support resources available within PlanetBids.

Upcoming Projects and Anticipated Schedule

The SWCCD Phases 2 and 3 Bond Program Schedule provides an overview of anticipated project timelines, including planning, design, procurement, construction, and closeout. The schedule is provided for general planning purposes and is subject to change based on District priorities, funding, required approvals, and project conditions. Inclusion in the schedule does not constitute an active solicitation or guarantee a procurement date. Visit the District’s PlanetBids portal for advertised opportunities, official solicitation documents, and submission deadlines.
