Vendor Enrollment Application

Through the Vendor Enrollment Center (VEC), any business wishing to sell goods or services to the City may enroll on the citywide bidders lists used by all Mayoral agencies to notify vendors about City procurement opportunities.  As of the end of Fiscal 2009, 56,745 individual vendors had enrolled to do business with the City, up 7% from Fiscal 2008 (when the City had 52,961 enrolled vendors).  Vendors enroll for the bidders lists that correspond to their respective areas of business.

Vendors Enrolled by Detailed Industry

64% of vendors enroll in seven main areas: other professional services (12%), other standardized services (11%), construction goods (11%), maintenance/repair services (8%), other non-durable goods (8%), information technology goods (7%) and construction services (7%).  These enrollments match many of the top areas reflected in agencies’ small purchase and micropurchase volumes shown in the chart below, suggesting a positive correlation between the types of products and services enrollees are seeking to sell to the City and patterns of actual agency buying. 

Small Purchases and Micropurchases by Detailed Industry

Businesses seeking to work with the City should take care to enroll under the commodity codes that best describe their respective products and services.  Once enrolled, they should contact agencies directly to make them aware of their interest and capacity to supply the City.  Information on agency contract offices is available through 311 and is posted here.

The Enrollment Application

Upon submission of the completed application, your organization will be added to the City's centralized bidders/proposers lists for the products and services you are interested in supplying to the City. City Agencies use these lists to notify vendors about upcoming contracting opportunities.
