Suppliers and purchasing
Our customers, shareholders and employees expect the highest quality and service in every aspect of our business.
We maintain that same standard for our suppliers and believe quality, service and cost advantages are best achieved when we work collaboratively toward common goals.
Work with us
Our vendor qualification program is the first step in developing long-term relationships with our key suppliers. Our suppliers must demonstrate a solid track record for:
- Customer service
- Lowest total cost of ownership
- On-time deliveries
- Communication
- Ethics
- Technical expertise
- Safety
We also encourage our vendors to incorporate sustainable practices in their businesses as we do in ours. Companies that qualify and are competitive will have the opportunity to gain a share of PacifiCorp's business.
Become a supplier
The first step to becoming an approved supplier is to register your company as a prospective supplier.
Review registration resources:
Approved suppliers
Once approved as a supplier, you will have access to our registration and bid process – including requests for information and requests for proposals – which is conducted through our supplier portal. Review our supplier support documentation for general information related to portal navigation, proposals, purchase orders, invoicing and payment information.
We use the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code categories in the sourcing process by inviting suppliers to a competitive bid whose listed capabilities match the material or service being requested. View the list of UNSPSC categories commonly used in our bid process. It is the supplier’s responsibility to update their list of UNSPSC categories in our eSourcing portal.
