City Launches Local Bidders Pilot Program
- 11/24/25
The City of Salem has implemented a Local Bidders Policy to support and promote businesses within city limits, and is looking for local bidders to sign up.
The policy requires City departments to seek quotes from at least one local vendor for purchases under $100,000. For purchases under $5,000, local vendors will be prioritized when prices are comparable.
This initiative, which began Nov. 17, is part of a pilot program aimed at strengthening our local economy and ensuring fair access to City procurement opportunities.
The policy will be reviewed in three months to assess its impact and effectiveness.
The City is asking local bidders who wish to be considered for the Local Bidders Pilot to fill out the Local Supplier Interest Form .
