About Go DIRect Program

The Go DIRect Program allows customers to purchase items directly from a DIR-contracted vendor. Customers contact the vendor for product and pricing information and send their purchase orders (with the DIR contract number) and payments directly to the Go DIRect vendor, not to DIR. This streamlines the order process so customers receive their products/services more quickly. Eligible DIR customers include Texas state agencies, Texas local government organizations, Texas public higher education institutions, and Texas K-12 school districts. Government entities in other states can also utilize the Go DIRect program if they have an Interlocal agreement with DIR.
