Purchasing Policies

On July 23, 2012 the Leesburg City Commission adopted a new Local Vendor Preference Policy that applies to sealed bids $25,000 or greater. A two tier Local Vendor classification has been defined as follows:

Tier I Local Vendor – A Local Vendor located within the City of Leesburg city limits or a customer of a Leesburg Utility.

Tier II Local Vendor – A Local Vendor not meeting the requirements of a Tier I Local Vendor but located within a 20-mile radius of the intersection of 14th and Main Street

Local Vendor Preference is awarded as follows:

Tier I Local Vendor - Under a Competitive Solicitation, the City may give a preference to a Tier I Local Vendor in the amount of five percent (5%) of the bid price or $25,000, whichever is less.

Tier II Local Vendor - Under a Competitive Solicitation, the City may give a preference to a Tier II Local Vendor in the amount of two percent (2%) of the bid price or $10,000, whichever is less.
