All suppliers and contractors interested in registering with the City of Houston and/or submitting a bid online for products and services procured by the City of Houston, MUST FIRST register for a Web Account. However, before you register, you MUST Search for Your Supplier Registration Record to validate whether or not your company exists in our database. Each supplier (or company) needs to have a unique email address and a unique password for each web account.

 

• The system does not accept duplicates and does not allow creating multiple accounts for the same email address and password.
  

Once you establish your own web account, you can then submit a Supplier Registration Form in order to obtain a vendor number. If you need any assistance, please view the Supplier Registration PowerPoint Instructions, or contact the Supplier's Assistance Desk at 832.393.8800. You MUST email or fax (832.393.8761) the tax forms IRS W9 (for companies within the United States) or IRS W8 (for companies outside the United States) to us.

 

• The information on the IRS W9 tax form must match the information listed on the Supplier Registration form as required by the Internal Revenue Service.
