The JTA's Procurement department is responsible for the procurement of all commodities, services, professional services, real property, construction, and any other goods or services for the JTA. The department is supported by professional staff who follow established policies and procedures based on city, state, and federal regulations and guidelines.
All bids are advertised on our Procurement Portal, as well as in the Financial News and Daily Record publications.
