The Procurement and Contracts Department (PCD) selects the best sources of supply for the University and authorizes potential new preferred suppliers. A PCD Preferred Supplier List was established to leverage the University's buying power and maximize supplier strengths leading to overall cost savings, as well as to retain a feedback mechanism for quality control. The Preferred Supplier List is based on a vendor's ability to deliver goods and services in a timely manner, at an appropriate level of quality, at competitive prices, and in accordance with applicable Federal, District, and University regulations. Strategic or preferred vendors from the list should be used unless there is a compelling reason to use a new vendor.
