A brief description of the program:
Middlebury's purchasing policy states that: "Preferential use of local vendors recognizes the fundamental interdependence between the College and the larger Middlebury and Vermont communities as a whole. The potential advantages of local suppliers in terms of service, delivery and dedication are clear. These advantages, however, must be weighed carefully against regional and national vendors' potential pricing advantages and supply source diversification. The overall balance between these variables (and others) should be considered in a context of long term impact and advantage to the College."
