The Department of Education values its relationship with its vendors. We believe that a fair, competitive process ensures value in our procurements.  We take the concerns and issues of our vendors seriously as we believe our children benefit from a process that recognizes that vendors provide valuable products and services to our students and teachers.

Important Vendor Topics

We need to put more of the Department's resources in the classroom, and so we are advancing a number of initiatives for electronic commerce.  Accordingly, vendors must now have the ability to receive emails and access our website.
   
Doing Business Data Forms Now Required

All participants in NYC Department of Education procurements that are not sealed competitive bids are required to complete a "Doing Business Data Form" (link below).  See the RFP or other documentation associated with your procurement/solicitation for more information.

Electronic Funds Transfer/Direct Deposit for Vendor Payments

We have always encouraged vendors to enroll to receive electronic payments rather than paper checks.  New York City law passed in 2007 now REQUIRES participation in the program for most contracts, so if you have not signed up for electronic payments yet, please do so through the link below.

Forms for Vendors

Schools (or other DoE offices) that wish to add a vendor to the DoE's purchasing systems should click "Forms for Schools" on the "Key Documents" on the right.
