State of Emergency

Learn how to be prepared

Attention Suppliers!

Buncombe County is now using a new vendor management system. All vendors/suppliers must register for all procurement related inquiries and tasks!

Vendor/Supplier Portal

Procurement

Information about county surplus, county purchase orders and more.

Attention vendors/suppliers, Buncombe County is implementing a new procurement vendor portal. This step is being taken to streamline the management of suppliers and the procurement process. If interested in receiving bids and solicitations, it’s important for vendors to register on this new system. We believe this transition will promote equity and efficiency in our future dealings. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we roll out this new platform.

Ronald Venturella, Buncombe County Procurement Manager, talks about what his program does for businesses that serve our community, and the new vendor portal that makes becoming a vendor for the county quicker and easier.

Bid & RFP Opportunities

There are no bid opportunities at this time.

Minority Business

Opportunities for minority businesses to participate as goods and services providers for the city and county.

Minority Certification Process

The County of Buncombe is accepting certification from those who register with the State of North Carolina's Office of Historically Underutilized Businesses. Certification is no longer being handled locally.

Vendor link and HUB designation is a self-managed system for minority vendors and it registers you as a vendor for the State of North Carolina.

This listing is used across the State by:

  • general contractors
  • architects, engineers
  • cities
  • counties
  • and essentially anyone accessing the internet

It will also provide a main listing of minority and disadvantaged businesses for the entire State eliminating the need to register as a minority firm at separate cities and counties unless their local ordinances require that you do so.
