Register Online to Become a Vendor

The County of Fresno-Purchasing division is now using the Public Purchase online bid management system. To do business with us, vendors will have to register with Public Purchase.

Why Register?

By registering with Public Purchase, you will automatically be notified when bid opportunities your company maybe interested in become available and then you can download those bid solicitations. You will also have access to ask questions and respond to bids electronically. Accessing bid opportunities with other government agencies will also be an option at no charge.
