doing business with us

The new AT&T purchases over $15 billion worth of goods and services annually. The AT&T Procurement organization is responsible for negotiating and contracting for goods and services for the AT&T enterprise both domestically (in the United States) and globally. In addition, AT&T Procurement's responsibilities include delivering goods and services in ways that guarantee quality and value for AT&T businesses and their customers.

AT&T views the supply line as a strategic component of the business, and is constantly seeking out ways to improve its performance and reduce costs. Such improvements come from many sources, including leveraging volumes and standardizing products to reduce costs, partnering with suppliers to optimize performance and applying more sophisticated warehousing and distribution techniques to gain efficiencies.

AT&T's policy is to select suppliers that offer the best overall value. Price is only one component of overall value. Other factors considered include: the management strength of the company; ability to control overhead costs; emphasis on providing quality products and services; support services; technical depth and abilities; and minority, women, disabled veterans business enterprise participation.
