Procurement

The procurement process is decentralized. That means that each borough department directly purchases goods and services valued at under $20,000. We encourage all vendors to contact individual departments and advise them of the goods and services your company provides. The FNSB Purchasing Division of General Services manages all purchases of goods and services valued at over $20,000. In addition, all bids and RFP's valued at over $20,000 are advertised in t he classified ad section of the Fairbanks Daily News Miner. Copies of bids and request for proposals can be picked up at the Purchasing Division office located in the Borough Administrative Building at 809 Pioneer Road.
