A list of bidders for all classes of commodities and services normally purchased by the City is maintained in the Purchasing Division. These lists are reviewed prior to soliciting bids. Interested vendors must complete and return a Vendor List Application. 

Submitting a Vendor List Application:

• Identifies you as a potential bidder
• Provides information about your business
• Identifies types of products & services your company can provide

You can download a Vendor List Application here. A list of commodity codes and descriptions is available here. Please provide all the information requested on the Vendor List Application and fax the completed form to 714-647-6944. Forms can also be mailed to the Purchasing Division, 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana CA, 92702.

The number of potential bidders sometimes prohibits the mailing of bids to every vendor listed under a particular commodity or service.  Buyers may also contact vendors who have not registered, but registering increases the potential for notification.

To ensure that your firm does not miss any bid opportunities, it is important that you advise the City of any changes in address, phone or fax numbers, e-mail or web address, and other vital information that would affect the City’s ability to identify you as a responsive bidder.  It is the responsibility of the vendor to resubmit an application every three years in order to remain on the vendor list.
