For instance, purchasing departments often deal with <vendors>.
If what's sold is a service of any kind, use <provider>
Can't think offhand when to use <supplier>, but probably in a less specific context...

supplier
Assume you mean "proveedor". Generally "supplier". "Provider" OK if it's services. Wouldn't use "vendor", reserving that for "vendedor".

Could be. To me, "vendedor" is just "seller", or "vendor". What's the Argentine Spanish for "salesman" in that weird "traveling salesman" law you have down there?
