Supplier Registration for Bids and Proposals
MCCCD Procurement Department strives to afford equal competition to all interested Suppliers. We aim to maximize competition and obtain products and services at the best possible value. We also encourage the acquisition of products that are environmentally compatible, recycled, or recyclable.
Due to the size and complexity of MCCCD, as well as the educational programs offered, we purchase a wide range of products and services. Suppliers can review our commodities list and identify the commodities that best match their business during Supplier Registration.
The Procurement Department’s primary mission is to serve the colleges and support services departments in the most cost-efficient and responsive manner. In doing so, the mission of the District to serve our students is made possible.
The Procurement Department reserves the right to remove any Supplier from its Supplier Registration System that is found to have provided false or misleading information or for lack of performance.

IMPORTANT: Supplier Registration Transition to PaymentWorks
Effective June 1, 2026, Maricopa Community Colleges is transitioning to PaymentWorks as our exclusive vendor onboarding and management platform. The current Supplier Registration Portal will be disabled on June 1, 2026. All new suppliers must register via PaymentWorks to do business with us.
What This Means for You
- New Suppliers: Beginning immediately, please coordinate with the college department you are doing business with to receive an invitation to register via PaymentWorks before providing goods or services.
- Existing Suppliers: If you are already registered, you will receive an email invitation to create a PaymentWorks profile, which will allow you to maintain your business details (address, tax, banking, insurance).
Why the Change?
- PaymentWorks provides a secure, streamlined method for onboarding and managing vendor profiles, reducing errors and ensuring the secure digital submission of sensitive information such as W-9 forms. A Payee Demo and Additional Information about PaymentWorks can be found at https://www.paymentworks.com/get-paid/
