Are you starting up a brand new business in Ohio? You need to register your brand new businesses with the State of Ohio and here is some helpful information on how to proceed.

Why is it important to register?

The Purchasing Department develops its Bidders Notification List for each bid, based on the NIGP–Commodity Codes as they apply to each bid's requirements. When registering you will use the NIGP-Commodities Codes Listing to choose commodity codes which apply to your business’s abilities to provide services and functions to the county.

If you wish to add to or make changes to an existing vendor registration use the Update Vendor Registration form. Please complete all relevant information, so that we may better serve you.

We strongly recommend you regularly check the website for new Bid Opportunities to insure you do not miss out on any opportunities.
