Remember - This registration will solely give you access to your company’s transactions.
It is important that you complete the registration in it's entirety and continue to update to ensure your business does not miss out on any potential opportunities. For example be sure to select the proper NIGP commodity code for the codes and services your company provide. If a supplier is uncertain whether a commodity code reflects the goods and/or services offered, it is recommended that supplier still select the commodity code to be eligible to receive solicitation information. Supplier upon receipt of solicitation can decide whether they offer those goods and/or services. Other examples of issues from improper registration can result in checks being issued to an incorrect location if the address section is not current or if the fax number is incorrect the supplier may fail to receive a purchase order.
