1. 01

   Register on Oklahoma Supplier Portal (bidder or supplier registration)

   Start registration. Cost: Free. Bidders pick UNSPSC category codes and can bid on open solicitations. Supplier registration requires an attached W-9 and takes one to three business days to review.^[2]

2. 02

   Have your IRS Form W-9 and tax ID

   Full supplier registration requires a W-9 to be attached, so have it ready before you start.^[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.

4. 04

   Watch the other buyers

   Cities and counties in Oklahoma run their own vendor systems. See the guides for City of Oklahoma City below.

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.

The Oklahoma Purchasing Manual says agencies may buy up to $25,000 without competitive bid if the price is fair and reasonable; most requisitions over $50,000 route to OMES Central Purchasing.^[3]

• Register as a bidder first if you only want to bid; you will need full supplier status before a contract award.
• Logins from the old registration system no longer work, so existing suppliers need a new user ID.
