Lieferanten
Explanation:
Very difficult to answer this one without more context. Your suggestion might be correct - we need to know
- what kind of company this refers to;
- the type of relationship (who supplies to whom);
- the document this refers to.

Explanation:
First, a few hints:
- You don't have to award KudoZ immediately, particularly if the term is still under discussion (although I don't mind, of course...).
- You should register, so other users can contact you by e-mail.

I'm afraid your answers still don't shed much light - you forgot to indicate which of the two companies you translate for... "Vertriebsabteilung" would only make sense from the supplier's point of view - who, I guess, wouldn't take about "suppliers and vendors".
From what we have here, I suspect this refers to the department dealing with suppliers and vendors - hence, this could be "Einkauf", not "Vertrieb".
