Procurement Information for Vendors


Frederick Community College (FCC) values strong partnerships with vendors who support our mission of serving students and the community.

We are committed to a procurement process that is fair, transparent, and easy to navigate. Vendors are encouraged to:

  • Review opportunities carefully
  • Follow all instructions provided
  • Submit complete responses by the deadline
Clear communication is essential. Please review the Vendor Communication Guidelines  below before participating in any procurement activity.
 

Vendor Communication Guidelines


To maintain fairness, consistency, and transparency in the procurement process:
  • Once Procurement is involved in any request—whether through a formal solicitation or direct outreach—all communication must go through the Procurement Office.
  • Vendors must not contact departments directly regarding active procurement requests.
  • Vendors must not copy (CC) departments on procurement-related communications unless explicitly instructed.
  • All questions, clarifications, and submissions must be directed to the Procurement contact listed.
This approach ensures equal access to information, clear documentation, and an unbiased evaluation process.
