On the Procurement Portal of the organization you'd like to register with, click on New Vendor Registration:

Click the link in your email to confirm your account. You'll return to the Registration screen and can complete Step 1 by accepting the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
You can now fill out further information to add to your Vendor Record:
If the organization you're registering with has set up Vendor Types, you will also be able to select and self-identify which Vendor Types you belong to. You can select more than one Vendor Type if more apply.
If the organization has also set up Custom Fields in association with a particular Vendor Type you've selected, you will see an additional tab populate labeled Custom Fields, which is located next to the Profile tab:
Within the Custom Fields tab, you will see any sections that you will need to complete based on the Vendor Types you selected:
Once you fill out the necessary information, the orange Incomplete status will update to a green Complete status. You can then click Save and then Continue to Step 3: Documentation.

Once the file has been uploaded, the red status button will turn green and you will be able to move to the final registration step:
Commodity Codes are used for classification purposes. If they are listed as "Optional" in the sidebar, then you only need to add codes if you are interested in being matched to future bid opportunities.
The type of code set being used is determined by the purchasing organization you're registering with. The code set being used will be displayed above the search bar text box (to the left of Keyword). You can search for codes using keywords or browse the table freely. Click Add next to the code you'd like to add. Codes added to your profile will appear in blue boxes at the top of the page; you can hover your cursor over each to see what the code is for.
For more information, please see our Quick Guide to Commodity Codes and our How do I add or delete Commodity Codes on my Vendor Record? page.
