We appreciate our local, small and emerging businesses and we look forward to working with you!
Local Only
Supporting local vendors keeps Alameda County strong. When County departments need goods and services, we go first to our certified SLEBs.
When we’re not able to find a SLEB, we turn next to our Local Vendor Database.
Register as a Local Vendor and enjoy preferred status when County departments look for goods and services. Please note that the Local Vendor registration process is not the same as SLEB Certification.
