Welcome to TxSmartBuy

System Announcements

Many changes have been made to improve the shopping experience on TxSmartBuy.com. Beginning April 18, 2011, purchasers will notice:

• A new contract number page that makes it possible to find items by Term contract or TXMAS GSA number.
• Support for product options (e.g., T-shirt sizes and colors). When adding these items to your cart from searches or Quick Order, TxSmartBuy will prompt you to select an option.
• Dedicated fields for contract award level and section number for fleet and road aggregate catalogs. The new fields are searchable and sort-able.
• Reminders for State Agency purchasers to shop first for preferred supplier and Term contract items.
• Streamlined email messages. Purchasers and suppliers will now receive a single email each time the purchaser creates, changes, or cancels a PO. That email will contain both the PO PDF and any attachments. Several processing email messages have been eliminated.
• A dedicated field for contractor quote number for quote items.
• POCN and PO Cancellation messages printed in large text across the top of the PO PDF.
• New links and buttons to access the "add quotes and charges" feature to make it easier to add delivery fees and simplify creating quote-only POs. A link has been added on the main iProcurement page.
• Improved visibility of the supplier and category tabs, a new "Visit Site" link to external supplier websites, and performance improvements. Improved visibility of tabs.

Stay tuned for upcoming enhancements; new online training videos will be available soon!
