LCRA each year buys a variety of goods and services from a large and diverse group of suppliers.  In fiscal year 2008, LCRA spent more than $373 million for everything from janitorial supplies and engineering services to bucket trucks used to repair transmission lines.

LCRA recognizes the importance of diverse business enterprises, including minority and women-owned, service disabled veteran-owned, or HUBZone businesses (Diverse Businesses) in the communities it serves.  That's why LCRA is expanding its relationships with these companies.  During FY08, LCRA spent approximately $43 million with Diverse Businesses.  This represents 11.46% of LCRA's total non-fuel expenditures.

LCRA posts most opportunities valued at more than $25,000 on its web site, in categories by Construction, Materials, & Services. See Proposal and Contract Opportunities.
