About PavilionPavilion is on a mission to improve the lives of all Americans by making public procurement work better. Public buyers spend $2T/year of taxpayer dollars on everything local governments need, from school buses to veterinary supplies. But unlike modern online shopping, buying on behalf of the public can take months – or even years – and relies on technology that largely hasn't changed since the '90s.
We believe that government purchasers deserve technology that's as advanced and user-friendly as the products they can use to order groceries or hire a babysitter. Our marketplace matches public buyers with suppliers they are pre-qualified to buy from, helping public servants deliver better government to residents and more businesses participate in public sector problem-solving.
