    <div class="html-content">
    <div>The Department of Procurement and Strategic Sourcing was proud to host UMBC’s first Vendor Expo, and it was a wonderful success!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>This event showcased our current contracted vendors, State of Maryland preferred vendors, as well as a diverse range of Minority- and Small-Business partners. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect vendors with the UMBC community and highlight the wide variety of products and services available to support our campus.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We were excited to welcome approximately 100 UMBC faculty and staff who joined us for the day. Below are a few photos capturing the energy of the event.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>For those unable to attend, we’ve attached is the full list of participating vendors, including contact information and details on the products and services they offer.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We look forward to continuing this type of vendor community engagement to strengthen partnerships, expand opportunities for diverse suppliers, and better serve the needs of the UMBC community.</div>
