For Johns Hopkins faculty, staff, and students
The daily decisions of Johns Hopkins’ staff, faculty, and students drive our success on our economic inclusion goals. You can support local purchasing and hiring:
- For every item you purchase, look for a local vendor first
- Use the vendor guide to discover local businesses
- Encourage people you know in the city to apply for open positions at Johns Hopkins
- If you are a hiring manager, ask your recruiter to make sure local candidates are in your review pool

Do you want to find a local vendor?
Check out the vendor guide, which lists local, small, small disadvantaged, minority, woman-owned, veteran-owned, and HUBZone suppliers that are able to provide a variety of goods and services. Individuals inside Johns Hopkins may post reviews of vendors listed in the guide and suggest additions to it.
Or, email buyLocal@jhu.edu to request help from procurement staff.
