Vendors and suppliers: Do business with the Dallas Fed
If your company is interested in becoming a supplier for a Federal Reserve Bank, you are invited to enroll through our supplier engagement portal. Upon completion of enrollment, your company profile will be accessible to Federal Reserve Bank procurement staff when identifying qualified suppliers. You may be contacted when procurement opportunities arise that align with your product or service offerings.
Completion of the enrollment process does not guarantee an invitation in competitive bidding opportunities. It also does not establish or imply the existence of any procurement relationship with the Federal Reserve Banks, either now or in the future. Individual Reserve Banks may require separate registration and due diligence reviews before doing business with any potential supplier.
- The Federal Reserve Banks partner with highly qualified suppliers capable of delivering optimal comprehensive solutions that meet our procurement requirements.
- Examples of Bank purchases include, but are not limited to:
- Consulting and training services
- General construction services
- Building maintenance services/supplies
- Mechanical equipment/maintenance (HVAC, pumps, cooling towers, etc.)
- IT services/suppliers
- Audiovisual services
- Janitorial Sservices
- If the types of goods or services your company provides are a fit for the Federal Reserve Banks, create a profile in the supplier engagement portal.
- Answer all relevant questions about your company. Keep your responses brief while still covering all important information.
What are the next steps after I express interest in being a supplier?
We carefully review all submissions. While we may not have an immediate opportunity, we’ll contact you when a suitable match arises. Please feel free to reach out periodically to inquire about opportunities or update your information.
How do I learn about upcoming procurement opportunities?
We do not publicly post our procurement opportunities. When an acquisition arises that matches your company’s qualifications, you may be contacted for more information or for consideration.
How can I directly contact a district representative?
We do not provide direct contact information for sourcing professionals or buying departments. Using information from the Supplier Engagement Portal, sourcing professionals work collaboratively with end-user staff to identify suppliers with the requisite capabilities and expertise for a particular acquisition. When an acquisition arises that matches your company’s qualifications, we may contact you for more information or consideration at that sourcing event.
Our supplier relations team is ready to help you learn about our procurement requirements and find ways to grow your business. We host regular meetings for potential vendors and are happy to respond to questions.
- “Doing Business with the Fed” information sessions: Join a virtual, one-hour meeting to get an overview of our procurement process and learn about upcoming projects. | Register for a session.
The Dallas Fed procurement team supports the business needs of our offices in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and El Paso. We use various acquisition methods, including competitive bidding, Requests for Information, Requests for Quote and Requests for Proposal. In most cases, we issue these requests electronically and require suppliers to submit their responses electronically.
In conjunction with the other 11 Reserve Banks in the Federal Reserve System, the Dallas Fed participates in national contracts negotiated by the Federal Reserve’s National Procurement Office.
The Dallas Fed does not participate in the General Services Administration and does not purchase goods or services using federal supply schedules.
