As a municipality, the city of Phoenix uses a competitive bidding process to procure the goods and services necessary to keep the city running.
The Request for Proposal (RFP) process is used for the purchase of supplies and equipment and the procurement of services. This process is administered by the Finance Department's Purchasing Division and involves the solicitation of formal, competitive sealed bids or proposals, and also includes Invitation for Bids (IFBs).
Firms interested in doing business with the city may visit the Vendor Help Center or check the online Frequently Asked Questions for some very useful information.
