PBA handles a variety of services for our clients which include: maintenance, security, custodial, grounds, life safety, parking, property development and telecommunications. PBA adheres to purchasing best practices and standards to help ensure that each company receives the opportunity to offer services and that each solicitation is fairly evaluated for the benefit of our organization, clients and community.

VENDOR REGISTRATION
PBA, through our partner Vendor Registry, maintains an online list of suppliers and service providers interested in doing business with PBA. Vendors will be included in bidders’ lists based on the commodity codes selected during vendor registration.
PBA will attempt to notify vendors of solicitations when they are advertised using the automated system; notices will be sent to the email address on file in the vendor record. PBA also posts notices for all competitive solicitation opportunities in the Knoxville New Sentinel and on PBA’s website. Each vendor is encouraged to check PBA’s website regularly for current information on solicitations and awards.
Interested suppliers should complete the vendor registration process. Vendors may update their vendor record any time there is a change to any information (e.g. contact name, phone number, address).
