DIR DBITS Contract Information
How to Buy
Complete instructions can be found here. In short, Texas DIR requires two items to be completed before work can begin:
A Statement of Work (SOW)
A Purchase Order (PO)
Please e-mail dbits@isphere.net or call 1-800-210-3215 ext. 18 and one of our DBITS project managers will work with you to complete the SOW. Once the SOW is completed and executed, you can request a PO from your purchasing department to be submitted to iSphere. As soon as we receive the PO, we will begin work on your project.
iSphere is an approved DIR Cooperative Contracts vendor. The Cooperative Contracts Program allows customers to purchase items directly from a DIR-contracted vendor. Customers contact the vendor for product and pricing information. They also send their purchase orders, with the DIR contract number, and payments directly to the Cooperative Contracts vendor, not to DIR. This streamlines the order process so customers receive their products & services quickly!
