In August, 2007, the City of Tucson’s Department of Procurement received the 12th Annual “Achievement of Excellence in Procurement” award pictured above.Thisaward was designed to recognize organizational excellence in public procurement. The annual award is earned by those organizations that demonstrate excellence by obtaining a high score on a rating of benchmark criteria. The program is designed to measure innovation, professionalism, e-procurement, productivity, and leadership.  Tucson was the first agency to achieve a perfect score in the AEP’s twelve year history and is one of only six agencies to win the award all twelve years of it’s inception.

A Call to Contractors: Arizona Revised Statute 34-603 C.2. requires that the selection committee for alternative project delivery methods, to include construction-manager-at-risk, design-build, and job-order-contracting, shall include at least one person who is a senior management employee of a licensed contractor. 

As it is often difficult to find contractors to serve on our committees, the City has decided to compile a list of available members.  If you are interested in being added to  the list please contact Cynthia Thompson at 837-4111, Cynthia.Thompson@tucsonaz.gov or Taffy Kim at 837-4117, Taffy.Kim@tucsonaz.gov. 

Contractors that have served in the past reported that they found it to be a very interesting and insightful experience.  We hope that you would take the opportunity to be part of the procurement process!

Note: Pursuant to the above Statute, contractors will not be paid for participating on a selection committee.

The City of Tucson's Department of Procurement is dedicated to the principles of competition and fairness.

Our goal is to ensure that Tucson taxpayers receive the maximum value for every expenditure and that all expenditures are conducted in a manner that preserves the public trust. Towards that goal, we encourage qualified vendors to participate in doing business with the City of Tucson.  In order to register to do business with the City, click on Vendor Services; or to access current purchasing activities, click on Bid Opportunities.
