How to register, step by step

  1. 01

    Register on Online Vendor Registration (Vendor Application)

    Start registration. Cost: No fee listed by the State of New Hampshire. All vendors must complete the online registration, which needs a valid email address; your vendor number arrives by email within 1 to 3 business days. A paper Vendor Application with the Alternate W-9 is accepted if you cannot register online.[2]

  2. 02

    Have your NH Secretary of State registration and good standing

    State purchasing rules require bidders to be registered with the Secretary of State if required by law and to be in good standing.[3]

  3. 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.

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.

Tips

  • State purchasing rules require bidders to be registered with the Secretary of State where the law requires it, and to stay in good standing.
