County to Host Procurement Meet & Greet for Local Businesses

Published on August 15, 2025

Los Alamos County will host a workshop focused on procurement/purchasing by the County with local businesses on Monday, August 25, from 6–8 p.m. in Council Chambers, 1000 Central Ave. This event will provide an overview of the County’s procurement process and will be opportunity to hear from the local business community.

The event is open to all local business owners and interested individuals. The event goals are:

1. Define the types of goods and services the County buys – to deliver needed goods and services to our residents, the County contracts with a wide variety of vendors.
2. Describe the County’s procurement/purchasing process – how sourcing decisions are made, and how to navigate the County’s procurement process. Attendees will also learn how to register for the County’s eProcurement system to receive notifications for opportunities such as Invitations for Bid (IFB) and Requests for Proposals (RFP).
3. Learn from local businesses – discuss the opportunities for the County to make its purchasing process a positive experience for the vendor community.

A business survey will be available—both in person and online—so attendees can share information about the types of goods and services they provide. The County will make this information available to assist County Departments to identify opportunities to source locally when possible.

A summary of the information provided in the session will be posted to the Los Alamos County website for those unable to attend.
