Vendors and Bidders
Thank you for your interest in doing business with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP).
The LADWP makes its purchases under authority granted by the Los Angeles City Charter.
Competitive bidding is the primary method to obtain solicitations. Competitive bids are not subject to negotiations, and an award is made to the lowest and best regular responsible bidder. Such determination may be made on the basis of the lowest ultimate cost to the DWP of such materials or equipment in place and use. All qualified suppliers will be given an equal opportunity to do business with the LADWP.
Supply Chain Services maintains a list of vendors for all classes of commodities and services regularly purchased by DWP.
Contact the LADWP Supply Chain Services Division at
purchbids@ladwp.com or the Vendor Liaison Center at (213) 367-2252.
Accounts Payable – (213) 367-3114
(Note: Vendors should first contact their contract administrator for any issue related to their contract with LADWP.)
Administered by the Office of the City Administrative Officer, Risk Management, for all City departments, the BAP is designed to assist in removing the barriers of surety bonding by providing technical and administrative assistance to local, small and minority businesses who would not otherwise be able to provide, on their own, the necessary bid, payment, and performance bonds to successfully bid and compete for City business opportunities.
