ContractRadar Adds 6 Local Buyers, Including Washington County, TX and Hidalgo ISD

We have added six more local buyers: Washington County, TX, Hidalgo ISD, TX, East Central ISD, TX, the City of Southgate, MI, Kerrville Public Utility Board, TX and Washington County, AR. Washington County, TX has 11 road and bridge bids open, due December 3, 2026, for work such as right-of-way mowing, culverts, bridge construction labor, contract hauling and emergency debris removal. Hidalgo ISD is looking for a general contractor for a bond project.

What’s new

Several of these names are easy to mix up. Washington County, TX is the Texas county whose seat is Brenham. It is not Washington County, AR, which is in the Fayetteville area, and neither is one of the Washington Counties in Maryland, Wisconsin or Oregon that we already monitor. Hidalgo ISD is the school district in the City of Hidalgo, in the Rio Grande Valley, and is separate from Hidalgo County, which we already cover. Kerrville Public Utility Board is the city’s utility, not the City of Kerrville. East Central ISD is in the San Antonio area, and Southgate is a city in the Detroit area. At the time of writing (November 11, 2026), Washington County, TX had 11 open solicitations, and Hidalgo ISD, East Central ISD, Southgate, Kerrville PUB and Washington County, AR had 1 each, so 16 in all.

The work on offer

Examples that were open at the time of writing:

• Road and bridge work: Washington County, TX has Invitations to Bid from its road and bridge office, all published November 10 and all due December 3, 2026. They cover right-of-way mowing, culverts, bridge construction labor, contract hauling, emergency debris and tree-limb removal, and reinforced concrete box culverts. Mowing, hauling, excavation and bridge crews can all find something to price.
• Supply for the same office: the same set of bids also includes fuel, oil, asphalt and emulsion, road construction materials, tires and steel products. These are supply contracts, so they suit distributors rather than crews.
• General construction: Hidalgo ISD is seeking a general contractor for a bond project that includes a new CTE building, an agricultural barn and a sports center complex. A pre-proposal conference is set for November 17, and proposals are due December 11, 2026.
• Electrical utility work: Kerrville Public Utility Board has an RFP for voltage regulator maintenance, due November 16, 2026.
• Furniture and equipment supply: East Central ISD wants furniture and equipment for Elementary #10, a competitive sealed proposal due December 10, 2026. The City of Southgate has an Invitation to Bid for library staff workroom furnishings, opening December 3, 2026. Both are supply contracts.
• Vehicle supply: Washington County, AR is buying fleet vehicles for its emergency-management department, due November 23, 2026.

How to register and bid

Each portal lets you browse open solicitations, but to download full documents, receive addenda, ask questions or submit a response you generally need to register as a vendor with that buyer’s portal. Counties, school districts and utilities often have their own requirements, such as insurance certificates, bid bonds or prevailing wage rules, so read the solicitation’s instructions before you price the job.
