Acquiring Vital Resources
BNSF purchases material and service items from an extensive list of sources. We seek to acquire quality goods and services at the lowest total cost of ownership by working resourcefully, efficiently, effectively and ethically with both current and prospective suppliers.
Our procurement process is organized around four key phases:
- Planning - understand what it takes to do business with BNSF
- Sourcing - access tools and processes needed to pursue a business relationship with BNSF
- Managing - arrange and handle transactions
- Paying - invoice and receive payment for these transactions
Please take the time to understand how this four-step method works and what is needed to create successful supplier relationships. Doing so may open new or additional opportunities for you and your company.
