The Contracts and Procurement Division provides the central purchasing function for the City of Salem. Items such as office supplies, computers, construction work, engineering services, heavy equipment and many other services and products are procured through competitive public contracting processes by this division.

The Contracts and Procurement Division maintains a list of vendors interested in providing products and services to the City of Salem. To have your name placed on that list, please complete a Vendor Application Form and return to:

The form provides you with opportunity to give us basic information about your business and the categories of supplies/services/equipment that you are interested in selling to the City. This form will enable City staff to enter the provided information into an automated bidder's list system regarding the types of bids your company is interested in receiving. The City uses the automated bidder's list system to send an "Invitation to Bid" to those bidders on the list.

The City looks forward to the opportunity to do business together.
