Business opportunities abound at ABC and we are committed to building professional partnerships with small business, women-owned, minority-owned and EVA-registered vendors. The agency purchases thousands of goods and services each year, many in high volume. From paper clips to fork lifts, we need supplies, equipment and services to keep our $500 million-plus operation moving forward.

ABC's Real Estate Committee is constantly searching in urban and rural environments for sites for new stores and relocation of existing stores, creating business opportunities for lessors, shopping center developers and property management organizations. In addition, the agency's store Design Committee is searching for new ideas in lighting, flooring and more for new stores and modernization of existing stores. With over 300 existing stores and additional stores opening every year, substantial opportunities for marketing products and services through ABC's Purchasing Department are plentiful.

ABC encourages vendor participation by placing public notice ads for potential new store locations, holding mini-trade fairs at the agency and participating in the Public Safety Supplier Diversity Fair. What do you have to offer as a business partner with ABC?
