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.
