How to sell to Nevada government
Nevada posts all state solicitations only in NevadaEPro, not on the Purchasing Division website, and anyone can view open bids without an account. To get paid, vendors must also register separately with the State Controller's Office.

Where Nevada posts bids
State agencies post on NevadaEPro.[1] State Public Works Division construction bids are posted on its Bid Advertisements page, with documents hosted on QuestCDN, not in NevadaEPro.

How to register, step by step
- 01
Register on NevadaEPro vendor registration
Start registration. Cost: No fee listed by the State of Nevada. Create a NevadaEPro account with business information, NAICS codes and a primary contact to get matching solicitation notices. Register with the State Controller's Office as well to receive payment.[2]
- 02
Have your State Controller's Office vendor registration
Required to receive payment from the State of Nevada, separate from NevadaEPro.[2]
- 03
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.
- 04
Get certified if you qualify
Emerging Small Business (ESB) Certification Program, through the Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED). Free to apply and renew; valid for 2 years; review takes up to 90 days.[3]
- 05
Watch the other buyers
Cities and counties in Nevada run their own vendor systems. See the guides for Clark 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.
