Joshua Basin Water District will implement PlanetBids to streamline processes, centralize procurement activity, and bring greater structure to future projects.
JOSHUA TREE, CA, UNITED STATES, February 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In preparation for upcoming infrastructure investments and an anticipated increase in project activity, Joshua Basin Water District (JBWD) has partnered with PlanetBids to modernize its procurement operations. The District will implement PlanetBids’ functionality for solicitation and vendor management to streamline its processes, centralize procurement activity, and bring greater structure to future projects.
As a small agency, JBWD has historically managed procurement through a mix of electronic tools. With larger capital projects on the horizon, the District identified the need for a professional, centralized solution to ensure transparency, accountability, and efficiency throughout the procurement lifecycle.
Key Benefits for the District:
Preparation for Growth – With significant projects ahead, JBWD is proactively building a scalable, digital procurement infrastructure that can grow with their needs.
Centralized Solicitation Management – PlanetBids enables the District to create, launch, manage, and track solicitations from one secure platform, replacing scattered tools with an all-in-one solution.
Streamlined Vendor Communication – The Vendor functionality provides an organized, automated approach to vendor registration, outreach, and compliance tracking, giving JBWD full visibility and control over its supplier base.
Improved Transparency and Audit Readiness – Every step in the procurement process is logged, reportable, and compliant, which will be essential as the District engages in more complex, publicly funded projects.
“Joshua Basin Water District may be small, but they’re thinking big – and smart,” said David DiGiacomo, CEO of PlanetBids. “By modernizing their procurement operations before major projects launch, they’re setting themselves up for long-term efficiency and public trust.”
“PlanetBids gives us the structure we need to manage procurement professionally, especially as we take on bigger and more complex projects,” said David Shook, Director of Administration for Joshua Basin Water District. “We’re confident this system will help us streamline our processes, stay compliant, and better serve our community.
