BlueLinx strives to be the leader in supply chain management for the building products we distribute. We are committed to providing superior service to our customers, embracing five key values in all that we do:

• People Are Important
• Integrity
• Customer Focus
• Speed
• Innovation

As an integral part of our key values, we identify qualified small businesses, minority, veteran, HUB zone, women and disabled-owned businesses to compete for our services on a fair and even basis. We believe nothing should limit our search for the best vendors for our products. Furthermore, as a government contractor, we embrace supplier diversity as a part of our sourcing strategy. We look forward to expanding business opportunities with these qualified suppliers and vendors.

BlueLinx provides an excellent platform for our vendors to get their products to a broad customer base. As the leading distributor of structural and specialty building products in North America, BlueLinx offers more than 10,000 products from over 750 suppliers to service 11,500 customers nationwide, including dealers, industrial manufacturers, manufactured housing producers and home improvement retailers. The company operates its distribution business from sales centers in Atlanta and Denver, and its network of more than 70 warehouses. BlueLinx' distribution network provides an excellent opportunity for small businesses to gain access to markets nationwide. In addition, we will provide competitive opportunities to those qualified vendors who register on our supplier diversity site in order to satisfy our government-mandated small business goals. Competitive and reliable suppliers are essential for BlueLinx to satisfy its obligations under these government contracts.
