Detroit Supply Schedule Program
As established within the Detroit City Code of Ordinances, the Detroit Supply Schedule Program is designed to procure commonly-utilized goods and services more efficiently while creating opportunities for local businesses. Contracts under the Supply Schedule are for indefinite quantities for a five (5) year term, enabling the City to make recurring purchases from approved suppliers.
Anyone can view a list of the City’s open Detroit Supply Schedule Requests for Qualifications and Quotations (RFQQs) by visiting our page of open bids and searching for “Detroit Supply Schedule.” Current RFQQs include:
The City prioritizes working with Detroit-certified businesses through the Detroit Supply Schedule Program. At least 30% of all Detroit Supply Schedule contracts are reserved for such businesses, and the Office of Contracting & Procurement conducts annual outreach sessions to keep residents informed about the Supply Schedule Program and associated opportunities. Moreover, the
Janitorial/Custodial Services (Schedule 2) and Guard Services (Schedule 3) RFQQs are open only to Detroit-certified businesses. The Grounds Services (Schedule 1) RFQQ is open to non-local businesses as well, although Detroit-certified businesses still receive equalization credits through the bidding process.
As with all City contracts, the Detroit Supply Schedule Program is open only to registered suppliers.
