Lawson Realty Corporation is a multi-family housing provider, which at the present time manages over 4,800 apartment units at over 25 locations in the Mid-Atlantic region. We have established a Vendor's Committee, which is responsible for receiving Vendor Information and relaying such to all of our properties.

The procedure established by this committee is as follows:

• A Vendor's Book has been instituted which includes vendors approved by the committee. When ordering supplies or bidding contract work, our personnel will refer to the book to contact and order from only that vendor that the committee has approved.

• The Vendor's Committee meets every other month and reviews updated information on our current vendors and relays it to our apartment communities.

• At this time, the committee also reviews information on Vendors that would like to be added to our approved list. The basis of their decision to approve a vendor is:

1. The number of vendors already in that particular category

2. Competitive pricing

3. Referrals

4. Reputation

If your company would like to be considered for inclusion in the Vendor's Book, please submit a written request with information from lines 2 through 4 above to:

John Davis

P.O. Box 61789

If you are a "supplier" vendor, also include a W-9. Please click to download a W-9. Please note, you will need Adobe Acrobat to download this form. If you do not have Acrobat, please go to the Adobe website for a free download of Acrobat.

Upon approval, we would request a price list from your company. The prices should be valid for one year. If you are a "contractor", you will also need to include a W-9. If the committee approves your request, we would at that time request to be placed on your insurance as additionally insured for Workman's Compensation and Liability. We hope that we have given you enough information for your understanding of our Vendor's Book procedure.
