disagree  Mariusz Kuklinski: Odpowiedź jest błędna językowo i merytorycznie. Takiego słowa nie ma w Wielkim Słowniku Języka Polskiego. VENDOR: one that vends, seller. (Merriam-Webster) Jeśli miałaś na myśli "podwykonawcę", to odpowiedź nadal pozostaje błędna merytorycznie.

We frequently encounter words like vendor and supplier in a supply chain, and many times the words are used interchangeably to refer to a person or anyone who supplies goods or services to an organization. A supplier may be the manufacturer of goods, while a vendor may or may not be the manufacturer. Whatever their differences may be, it is common to see people confusing between vendors and suppliers because of many similarities between their roles
