Doing Business with the City of Homestead

Welcome to the City of Homestead's Procurement & Contract Services Division. We realize that for many of you, Procurement & Contract Services is your initial contact with the City. This guide has been prepared to acquaint you with the City's policies and procedures in an effort to make your business and visits with us pleasant and mutually beneficial.

Procurement & Contract Service's Role
Our responsibilities are dictated by Code and include the acquisition of materials, supplies, equipment and services for all City departments, including Utilities and Police Departments. We strive to acquire the quality, quantity and delivery required by departments at the least overall cost to the City.

The City operates a centralized Procurement & Contract Services Division and we ask that when calling on the City, you make Procurement & Contract Services your first point of contact. We will arrange contacts for you with various departments when appropriate. Unauthorized visits to individual departments are discouraged and may be counter productive.

Interviews / Appointments
Though not required, appointments are preferred and will help you to complete your business with a minimum of lost opportunity. We suggest that initial visits be somewhat general, giving us an introduction to you and product lines. Subsequent visits are ideal opportunities to explain in detail a single item or service that you provide. Line cards, catalogs and price lists are always helpful.
