About Our Vendors
Clarity. Connection. Contracts that build community.
Our Vendors is a civic venture dedicated to helping small and underutilized businesses succeed in public contracting. We believe economic development starts from the bottom up — with the people who live here, work here, and build here.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bridge the knowledge and information gap so that local business owners and operators can confidently navigate government procurement and win work that strengthens our neighborhoods.
We're Not a Charity
We're a civic business. We practice what we preach: self-sufficiency, accountability, and value creation for those who serve the public good. We charge fair prices for our services because we stand shoulder to shoulder with the vendors we serve — as partners in progress.
What We Do
Through our Directories, our Word-Is newsletter, and our Guild, we're doing our part to make sure that city dollars work harder for city people.
Because when our vendors thrive, our communities rise.
