While Amazon is the go-to platform to get anything from household staples to holiday gifts, construction firms do not have the same comfort when procuring materials for the next project.
What if there was one service that construction firms could use to procure materials for public works?
And what if that same service also allowed contractors to meet State of California mandated Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise requirements for public works projects?
As contractors in California know, failing to meet Disabled Veteran Business goals can make a hard won competitive bid null and void.
And since disabled veteran firms - also known as DVBEs in California - are few in number and might not exactly be found near you, contractors often struggle with obtaining their services. Many disabled veteran firms also often find it difficult to keep up with demanding turn over times and handling large volumes of construction materials.
PN Supply has sought to fill this niche, itself a certified DVBE and Small Business Enterprise (SBE), it functions as a supply chain platform for construction material.
PN Supply Project Coordinator Monica Ramirez explains, “The industry has changed so much over the decades, and we found that keeping up with the latest tech trends helps streamline our material supply chain with vendors and contractors.”
Today’s PN Supply is known for its efficiency and rapid response to customers - a strategic partner that gets firms the best prices for material supply, extends lines of credit, and even offers compliance advice for both government and commercial projects.
Founded in 2014 by a disabled veteran with more than 30 years under his belt as a contractor - PN Supply knows the industry. With a team of estimators, project coordinators, and purchasers - PN Supply has successfully delivered construction equipment and material to more than 100 contractors on nearly 1,000 projects.
Working up and down California and even in nearby states, it has been part of many major projects including the LAX People Mover and Terminal upgrades, the new Sacramento Capitol Annex Building, the new San Diego International Airport Terminal, and hundreds more.
