Supplier Relations Policy

East Kentucky Power Cooperative regards good supplier relations and the integrity of its employees as invaluable. As a matter of policy, East Kentucky prohibits its employees from accepting or receiving any item of significant value, either tangible or intangible, from suppliers, contractors, consultants, financial institutions, or from any of their employees or agents. This policy does not apply to casual group hospitality at industry meetings.  The employees of East Kentucky should at all times avoid conflicts of interest or any appearance of conflict of interest. The business relationship we have developed with various organizations is of the utmost importance to us. A copy of the complete Supplier Relations Policy may be obtained from any member of the Purchasing staff. Please make this policy known to the personnel in your organization who have business contact with our employees.

Supplier Visits

The Purchasing Team maintains an open door policy for all companies desiring to transact business with us, and each supplier representative will receive courteous and sincere consideration. Every effort will be made to conserve the supplier representative's time and reduce waiting periods to a minimum. Each representative will be given the opportunity to offer their product or service in private and with a minimum of interruptions.

All representatives must enter via the main lobby and sign the visitor's register. The receptionist will then contact the desired party. In accordance with East Kentucky policy, representatives will be escorted to each office they intend to visit and back to the receptionist area for signing out.

Appointments with all East Kentucky personnel are strongly encouraged. Representatives without appointments may find that the persons they wish to see have prior commitments.

Buy American

EKPC, as a borrower of funds from the Rural Utilities Service, is required to purchase to the extent practicable, goods produced or manufactured in the United States, Mexico or Canada in accordance with the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (NAFTA). Suppliers are asked to quote only items meeting these criteria or provide sufficient information as to why complying items cannot be provided.
