Val Verde County seeks sealed bids for annual commodities
Val Verde County is seeking sealed bids for road materials, fleet fuel and janitorial services, a purchasing round that can shape county costs and day-to-day operations.
Val Verde County is asking vendors to submit sealed bids for annual commodities that help keep road crews working, county vehicles fueled and public buildings cleaned. The county’s 2026 notice sets an Aug. 6 deadline at 10:00 a.m. and says bids will be publicly opened and read aloud the same day at the Val Verde County Purchasing Department, 509 E. Gibbs Street in Del Rio.
The list is practical, not abstract: road material products, road oil products, fleet fuel and janitorial services. Those are the kinds of recurring purchases that touch multiple parts of county government, from road maintenance and vehicle operations to the upkeep of offices and other facilities in Del Rio and across Val Verde County. When those prices move, taxpayers can feel it in operating budgets long before they notice the paperwork behind them.
Melissa Vasquez is the purchasing contact receiving the sealed bids. The notice appears on the county’s News Flash page, part of the formal bidding process the county uses to buy recurring goods and services in the open rather than behind closed doors. That public process gives local suppliers a chance to compete for county business and gives residents a clearer view of how the county spends public money.
Val Verde County has also used the same annual-bids process before. A 2025-2026 notice set a July 22, 2025 deadline for road material, road material oil and bulk fuel, showing that these are not one-time purchases but recurring needs that come back on the county’s calendar year after year. The county’s bid pages also show related purchasing activity for a new 3/4-ton pickup truck, road material, waterline materials for Vega Verde Colonia and a concrete parking lot project for the future Robert “Bob” Chavira Sports Complex.
A June 18, 2025 commissioners court agenda listed County Judge Lewis G. Owens Jr. and the county address at 400 Pecan Street in Del Rio. Together, the notices show a steady stream of procurement decisions that affect how the county keeps roads passable, fleets supplied and facilities operating without interruption.
