Welcome to Western Washington University Small and Local Business Program.

Western Washington University (WWU) is committed to doing business within our community by maintaining and promoting practices that expand contracting opportunities for our local small businesses. WWU will actively engage with small businesses, women-owned businesses, persons with disabilities-owned businesses, and veteran-owned businesses to create opportunities to support the local economy. We strive to increase local sourcing whenever possible to better engage with our community and promote sustainability.

We are committed to providing outreach to local small businesses who are interested in doing business with WWU. If you are aware of business interested in collaborating with us, please send inquiries to swiackl@wwu.edu

Please note vendors can also be found on Marketplace as non-catalog suppliers. If not using Marketplace, direct invoicing is allowed for all services and products under $10,000. For any procurement questions, please contact purchasing.department@wwu.edu
