The City of Oxnard adheres to a transparent public solicitation process and welcomes vendors to participate in providing goods and services to the City. The steps below will guide vendors through the registration and proposal/bid submission process.
Vendor Registration
The City utilizes Public Purchase, a third-party electronic solicitation website that allows vendors to register. Upon registration with Public Purchase, registered vendor(s) will receive e-mail notifications of upcoming solicitation opportunities for the items your company identified.
You can register for free with Public Purchase to submit responses to open requests from the City. Registered vendor(s) will also be able to view all the open solicitations, electronically respond to the solicitations, and see solicitation results when they are awarded. Additionally, registered vendor(s) will receive notices of any addenda to those solicitations, as well as have the opportunity to post questions and receive answers pertaining to that solicitation. All questions and answers are posted online so that all vendors will have access to the same information regarding the solicitation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Registered vendors will receive notice of solicitations. Solicitation notifications are based on registered e-mail addresses, so it is recommended you use a generic e-mail address for your company, if you have one, and a second email address for a specific individual, if available. That way, if personal e-mail addresses change, your organization still receives notification of solicitation opportunities. It’s also important to make sure your company has saved the user-name and password in a secure location, so that it is accessible when you are not available.
The City cannot guarantee you will receive notice of every opportunity to sell to the City, so we encourage you to visit our Purchasing website so its important to review Solicitation Opportunities on a regular basis.
