Native Economies: The Purchasing Power Initiative (Room Room 401)

For over 10 years the Minnesota American Indian Chamber of Commerce has been gathering input from Tribal leaders across the country to develop the Purchasing Power Initiative – a software platform by Red Circle Agency to help Tribes streamline vendor management across their business portfolios. In this session you will learn how this free online tool will help participating Tribes grow their vendor pool to increase bid competitiveness and reduce procurement costs. Session attendees will also learn how this platform can help Tribes implement American Indian vendor preference and identify joint purchasing opportunities with other tribes – all while protecting sovereign tribal data.
