Sourcing Process
Suppliers are recognized as an important extension of our team to help fulfill the AAMC mission. We actively seek out suppliers who provide innovative approaches to their products, services, and technology, provide nonprofit pricing, and who exemplify ethical behavior. We look for suppliers who understand our business and identify ways to add value. These suppliers know the importance of delivering the highest quality goods and services.
New suppliers can be considered during a competitive process or brought to our attention through alternative channels. The AAMC requires new suppliers engage with the association through its Central Procurement Office. We ask all suppliers to respect this policy.
If invited by the Central Procurement Office to participate in an RFx Process, please utilize the following instructions to access and upload documents for an RFx Event:
