How to sell to Arizona government
Arizona's State Procurement Office registers vendors through the Arizona Procurement Portal at app.az.gov, and other state offices such as the Attorney General point bidders there. State law lets purchases up to $100,000 follow simpler small procurement rules set by the director.

How to register, step by step
- 01
Register on Arizona Procurement Portal (APP) supplier registration
Start registration. Cost: No fee listed by the State of Arizona. Register as a vendor with the State Procurement Office at app.az.gov.[1]
- 02
Choose your commodity codes
Notifications are sent by the codes in your vendor profile. Pick every code that describes your work, and revisit them when you add a service.
- 03
Watch the other buyers
Cities and counties in Arizona run their own vendor systems. See the guides for City of Phoenix, Maricopa County below.
What you will typically need
Exact requirements vary by portal; the registration page linked above is the authority. Most ask for:
- Your legal business name and address exactly as registered with the state, and your federal tax ID (EIN, or SSN for some sole proprietors).
- A signed IRS Form W-9, which most buyers collect before they can pay you.
- Commodity codes (NIGP, UNSPSC or NAICS, depending on the portal) for every product and service you sell.
- A contact who will receive bid notices, plus any business license or registration the jurisdiction requires.
- Certificates of insurance and, for construction, bonding capacity: these are usually requested per bid rather than at registration.
When a formal bid is required
Under A.R.S. 41-2535, procurements that do not exceed $100,000 in aggregate may be made under small procurement rules adopted by the director.[2]
Tips
- Registering with the State Procurement Office is a separate step from any agency-specific interest list, so do both if an agency offers one.
