General Services Division

The General Services Division (GSD) is the central purchasing office for TxDOT. GSD provides oversight authority for negotiated contracts, policies and procedures development and support services for professional services contracts.

Contract opportunities with TxDOT and the state of Texas are promoted through GSD's efforts to provide business opportunity information, training and workshops to contractors, TxDOT staff and outside organizations.

GSD coordinates statewide efforts in regard to alternative fuels, recycling, records management, mail and surplus property. The management of four Regional Distribution Centers (RDC) located in Austin, Athens, Post and Sequin is handled by GSD. These centers support the supply and material needs of department facilities throughout the state.

Other Statewide support services provided by GSD include electronic publishing, reprographics and full-cost recovery off-set printing. General Services electronically publishes manuals and highway construction plans on TxDOT’s Intranet site, while publishing plans used in the bidding and letting processes on the Internet for the convenience of external customers.

Scott D. Burford serves as director. Contact us with questions or comments regarding the General Services Division.
