LVMPD - About Us - Purchasing

LVMPD welcomes the opportunity to do business with interested suppliers. The LVMPD's Purchasing Unit is interested in fostering participation by all suppliers offering goods and services that may be used by the LVMPD.

In order to facilitate a greater distribution of its bid opportunities, LVMPD has joined Onvia/DemandStar, the leading government purchasing network, which brings together government agencies and suppliers. Onvia/DemandStar membership enables LVMPD to improve service to suppliers by providing automatic bid notification and instant access to bid information via the web.

Suppliers are encouraged to participate in the LVMPD's system of electronic bid distribution. Membership in the Onvia/DemandStar network offers suppliers a number of important benefits:

Suppliers will receive automatic and immediate notification via e-mail or fax of Invitations to Bid, Requests for Proposals, and Requests for Quotations issued by LVMPD and several other governmental agency in Clark County that participate in the Onvia/DemandStar network.

As other government agencies in Clark County join Onvia/DemandStar, suppliers will receive automatic notification of their bid opportunities as well.

Suppliers will have 24-hour access to current bid information, including bid results, contract awards, and profile information.

Suppliers will be notified only of bid opportunities they have determined are relevant to their businesses.

Suppliers will be able to download bid documents from the internet at no charge.

Suppliers may register online at www.demandstar.com, or by calling (800)711-1712 and requesting a registration form be faxed to them. If you are already registered with Onvia/DemandStar for any other Clark County agency, you do not need to register again.

Onvia/Demandstar has recently implemented an Agency Level Subscription option that will allow suppliers to download bid documents and transact business with any one agency FREE. The subscription allows a supplier to: receive notice of the agency's formal bid opportunities, have unlimited downloads for all electronically uploaded bid documents, and to have the subscription automatically renewed annually. To register for an Agency Level Subscription for the LVMPD, just click here.

Registration with Onvia/DemandStar is not a requirement for doing business with the LVMPD. All formal bids over $50,000 will be advertised in the Las Vegas Review Journal. If a supplier is not registered with Onvia/DemandStar, it will not receive automatic notification of bid opportunities, but bids may be downloaded from the internet for a nominal fee. In addition, suppliers may pick up a copy of the bid package at the LVMPD Purchasing Unit, City Hall, 400 Stewart, 7th floor, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89101.

General information on doing business with LVMPD's Purchasing Unit may be found on the Doing Business with Us page of this site.
