DEP, like all City agencies, uses the Citywide Bidders list, to obtain the names of vendors to whom solicitation notices will be sent. You may go to the Vendor Enrollment Center to obtain the application and the information as to where to send your completed application. Once you register with the Vendor Enrollment Center, you will receive an email when DEP (or any other City agency) is soliciting bids for the type of work your company does.
