We advise all vendors to check the main Procurement Services page for formal Sealed Bid solicitations (updated every Friday) as well as communicate regularly with the appropriate buyer in General Procurement for informal solicitations. Contact information can be found on our About page.
You do not have to be a registered vendor with Cobb County to submit a bid/proposal. However, we recommend vendors complete the vendor registration process to prevent delays in bid awards.
