Washington University in St. Louis supports inclusive procurement practices by providing resources that facilitate access to a broad range of businesses. The General Business Directory serves as an informational tool to help departments identify businesses across various industries. This directory is updated regularly as new businesses are identified.
Departments should follow Washington University’s Purchasing Policies and Terms when selecting suppliers. Selection should be based on a best-value approach, considering factors such as quality, service, reliability, sustainability, and total cost of ownership—not just the lowest price. Departments are encouraged to engage with the Resource Management team for guidance on evaluating suppliers to ensure they align with university standards and requirements.
