If your firm is a certified Minority (MBE) or Woman-Owned Business (WBE), we ask that you include copies of your current certification documents.
2. Procurement Services staff will enter your firm into the CCC vendor database giving each college access to your firm to obtain quotations for goods and services. Vendors are encouraged to check the contract opportunities page or Chicago Sun-Times for formal bid projects.
Vendors are encouraged to contact the College Business Offices Managers and inform them of the types of products/services they can provide to the campuses.
To have your firm certified as an MBE or WBE Business, obtain a certification from one of the acceptable certifying agencies at MBE/WBE Vendors.
