The City of Palm Bay Purchasing & Contracts Division's primary responsibility is for the acquisition of supplies and services that are essential to citywide operations. They are responsible for the annual procurement of approximately $36 million dollars worth of supplies, services, annual contracts, construction projects and professional service agreements.

The City's purchasing authority is centralized through the Purchasing & Contracts Division, with the responsibility of smaller dollar pricing research delegated to the individual department level. All contracts and purchase orders are issued through the Purchasing & Contracts Division and approved by the Purchasing Manager.

The City of Palm Bay has contracted with DemandStar by Onvia for the distribution of its solicitation documents and for the maintenance of an automated vendor list.  This list categorizes each vendor by commodity codes for the specific supplies or services offered by the vendor.  Businesses who have subscribed to the vendor list are notified by fax or e-mail whenever a formal sealed proposal or departmental written request for quotation has been issued for the supplies or services offered by the vendor. 

To view the City’s current list of opportunities, please visit the following links:   City of Palm Bay Proposal Opportunities  or City of Palm Bay Quote Wire for additional information.

To have your company placed on the vendor list; contact DemandStar by Onvia at 1-800-711-1712 for details on the subscription.  The application asks for general information about your firm and lists the supplies and services the firm may wish to sell to the City.

The purchasing function of the City of Palm Bay is vitally important to those of us within the municipality and to all citizens who are concerned with the wise and honest expenditure of public funds. Purchasing, by and for the City of Palm Bay, must be conducted fairly with opportunity given to all who desire to participate in the procurement process. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Purchasing & Contracts Division for more information.
