METRO'S PROCUREMENT SERVICES facilitates the procurement and contracting process for all departments throughout Metro to ensure quality purchases that support Metro's mission. Diversity in contracting is a critical component of Metro's mission to plan for the region's future and ensure that it remains a great place to live. By actively involving minority business enterprises, woman owned business enterprises, service disabled veteran owned businesses and emerging small businesses in the pool of business opportunities, we can help expand the economic opportunities in the region. MULTNOMAH COUNTY'S PURCHASING DEPARTMENT competitively procures materials and services supporting County operations. Business diversity and equity are important values to the County. Our goal is to provide equal opportunity and access and we actively encourage participation by minority-owned, woman-owned, service disabled veteran-owned and emerging small business firms, as well as disadvantaged business enterprises, to compete for purchasing and contracting opportunities within Multnomah County.
