How to become a supplier

If you plan to make a personal sales call to Basin Electric staff, an appointment is required. Call 701.557.5563  Please contact the procurement division to share your information.

The best way to become a supplier to Basin Electric is to contact the procurement division and explain your company’s capabilities, products and services.

Supplier relations

We view suppliers as an extension of our resources by enabling Basin Electric and its subsidiaries to obtain the highest value in the procurement of equipment, materials, and services. We are committed to building a culture of trust with our suppliers and contractors. Basin Electric seeks to always maintain the highest standards of integrity and objectivity in our working relationships and will not conduct business with anyone who does not operate with integrity or who compromises corporate values and ethical standards.

Conflict of interest

Power plant components are among the items Basin Electric purchases.

We avoid conflict, or the appearance of conflict, between personal interests and official responsibilities on behalf of the Basin Electric. We use cooperative resources – time, personnel, equipment and supplies – for Basin Electric and subsidiary business-approved activities. We do not take personnel advantage of business opportunities that are discovered through the use of Basin Electric and subsidiary property, information or position. 

Confidential information

We use confidential information only for the business purpose intended. We protect the intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patent, licenses and trademarks, and other proprietary information of Basin Electric and others. We expect our suppliers to do the same.

Supplier visitation

Basin Electric welcomes supplier representative visits. We recognize supplier representatives as a valuable source of information and the source of data for cost/benefit analysis. Supplier representatives are encouraged to make prior appointments and visit Basin Electric and subsidiary employees in accordance with local facility procedures. Due to the volume of solicitations, Basin Electric may not be able to follow-up on every inquiry or phone call, but we appreciate your interest in becoming a supplier.
