About this file
This is a vendor information document issued by the City of Long Beach describing the municipal procurement process and how businesses can become approved vendors. The City of Long Beach purchases hundreds of millions of dollars annually in goods and services, including vehicle parts, construction contracts, and professional services. For purchases under $40,000, the City solicits quotes directly from qualified businesses and awards contracts to the lowest qualified bidder. For purchases exceeding $40,000, the City posts solicitations—including Invitations to Bid (ITBs) and Requests for Proposals (RFPs)—to Long Beach Buys, a centralized online platform where vendors can view opportunities and submit competitive proposals. Prospective vendors must create a free account at longbeach.gov/purchasing, search the database for relevant opportunities, and submit responses for projects matching their qualifications and interests.
The City welcomes participation from small, local, and diverse firms and awards a 5-10 percent preference to local businesses on both quotes and solicitations. Monthly webinars titled "Doing Business with the City" are held on the third Thursday of each month at 11 a.m., with registration available at lbcity.info/vendorwebinar. For account setup assistance or inquiries, businesses should contact Purchasing Customer Service at LBPurchasing@longbeach.gov or 562.570.6200. No specific incumbent contractors, funding sources, or contract terms are detailed in this informational document.
