Becoming a St. Mary’s County Vendor:
St. Mary’s County purchases its goods, services and
construction competitively in an open competitive market. To
accomplish this, the County has centralized its purchasing
process. A centralized purchasing department or office has the
expressed authority to commit the County to a contract. Under
this system individual persons or departments throughout the
organization do not have the authority to enter into a contract.
The County’s competitive purchasing conditions and
requirements are established by the St. Mary’s County
Procurement Office. The St. Mary’s County Procurement Office
fashions purchasing conditions and requirements based on
applicable legislation. This legislation originates from the
State of Maryland and the various codes and ordinances of the
County of St. Mary’s. The conditions established by the County
set forth the provisions vendors must meet in order to sell
their products or services. Requirements established by
governing status set forth the manner in which those products
and services are purchased.
Your chances for securing
business with the County, regardless of which type of
competition is involved, are greatly increased if you are
registered in our active bidder list. In order to be on our
active bidder list, you must first have been established as a
County vendor. To obtain information on how to become a County
vendor, please contact the Procurement Office at 301-475-4200
