Following Registration Completion

When your registration process is complete, your information will be made available to those personnel responsible for procuring the types of goods and/or services that you offer. If we determine that we are in need of those goods and/or services, you may be contacted for consideration. While we will give full consideration to utilizing your firm, please recognize that there is no guarantee of business.

Please do not be discouraged if you don't hear from us right away. While we may not be in a position to consider your offer to supply goods and/or services to us at the time of your registration, your information will remain active in the database providing your certification is renewed annually.
