July 17, 2002—The Home Depot, the world’s largest home improvement retailer, recently announced its intention to pursue federal government business. The announcement marks a change in the company’s previous policy, which precluded it from selling to any federal governmental agency or entity.
Home Depot said the decision to change its position was based on feedback from its associates, customers, and a further evaluation of the systems and administrative requirements necessary to become a federal contractor. The company operates more than 1,400 stores in the US, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
