Want to Setup a Meeting?
Are you a vendor seeking an opportunity to meet with Contracts Administration and Procurement? We have established Vendor Day just for you.
Vendor Day is an outreach effort to afford vendors an opportunity to meet with County staff and introduce their company to the County. Vendor Day provides the Vendor a set time (not to exceed an hour) and date to perform a demonstration of their company’s capability/capacity or to ask questions about “How to Win Business with the County”. This is an informal meeting with a member of Supplier Development and Diversity Division (SD3), Contracts Administration and Procurement (CAP), and a representative of the relevant County Agency.
To schedule a meeting, please submit your request and questionnaire using the vendor meeting request form.
