The Home Depot will host prospective merchandise suppliers onsite for targeted pitch sessions and product capability demonstrations via The Orange Exchange event on February 19, 2026. Suppliers can apply to participate starting today, with applications closing December 15, 2025.
The Orange Exchange will connect merchants with suppliers who can deliver products that add value for our customers and demonstrate the operational capacity to scale effectively. At the event, potential suppliers will meet individually with merchants and business leaders.
"Partnering with innovative U.S. small businesses allows us to bring innovation and quality products to our customers while supporting entrepreneurship and growth,” Candace Rodriguez, Senior Director of Sustainability and Supplier Pipeline, said.
The selected suppliers will be assessed on criteria including market readiness, domestic production capacity, and fulfillment capabilities. Innovation will also be evaluated, as The Home Depot merchandising recognizes supplier’s commitment to delivering products of the best quality and value.
For U.S. based small businesses interested in becoming a product supplier, you can submit your product proposals here and apply to join the family of partners helping to bring the best products and services to our Home Depot customers.
