Fairfax County Department of Procurement and Material Management
Fairfax County's central procurement department handles purchasing and contracting for all county agencies, and operates a Vendor Pitch Portal that lets a firm present its services to county agencies and the school system at once.
- Indicative award
- Amount not published (varies by call)No amounts published at the department level. The only figure stated is a $250,000 prevailing-wage threshold that applies to construction contracts, not services.
- Timing
- Rolling / openNo specific published date recorded. This funder publishes a cycle rather than a date, and this database does not invent one.Solicitations and the Vendor Pitch Portal are open on a rolling basis.
- Who can apply
- Mid-career & senior, Any faculty rank, Practitioner, Community organisation
- Eligibility
- Any vendor may respond to posted solicitations; the county encourages enrolment in its e-procurement system to receive purchase orders electronically. The Vendor Pitch Portal is an unsolicited route to introduce capabilities to county agencies and Fairfax County Public Schools rather than a competitive award in itself. Contracts hold firm pricing — no post-award adjustment without a documented written request.
