For your benefit, registering as a County vendor offers the following:

• Online access to County bid opportunities.
• Automatic Email notification of solicitations for products and services that you select to receive.
• Placement on Bid Lists generated by County Departments looking for prospective vendors.
• Visibility to all County Procurement Officers.
• Opportunity to qualify and enroll in the Local Small Business Enterprise Preference Program.
