The Procurement team at DHP continually negotiates contracts with vendors to gain the best prices for commonly used goods and services. We establish supplier contracts, including bulk and cooperative purchasing agreements, that save the Agency money, time and work. Buying from contracts is the preferred purchasing method at DHP. Before making a purchase, you are encouraged to review the mandatory sources available to DHP.
