How to register as a Wyoming vendor, step by step
These are the steps as the state describes them, in plain words. The portal may word things differently, and it can change, so keep the official page open beside you.
- Use the A&I Bid Opportunities page link to register with Public Purchase; the state says all vendors must complete this registration.
- Create a free Public Purchase account for your organization and follow the on-screen steps.
- Wait for activation; a new account can take up to 24 hours to go live, and you get a confirmation email.
- Select the NIGP commodity codes for your business so you receive email notices of matching bids.
- Have your Taxpayer Identification Number and a W-9 ready, as the state's vendor guide lists them among the registration items.
- Download bids and submit responses through Public Purchase as each bid instructs.
What to have ready before you start
Registration goes faster when the basics are in front of you. For Wyoming, gather:
- Your legal business name exactly as it appears on your tax records, and any trade name you use.
- Your federal Employer Identification Number (EIN), or a Social Security number for a sole proprietor, since the state uses it to match you for payment.
- A business address, a phone number and an email address that someone reads every day; bid notices and questions from buyers go there.
- A short list of what you sell, so you can choose the matching NIGP codes in one sitting.
- W-9 / Request for Taxpayer Identification Number & Certification
Does it cost anything to register in Wyoming?
No fee is stated on the official pages we read: No cost: registering an organization with Public Purchase is free, per the state's vendor guide. Be careful with outside services that offer to register you for a price. The state's own portal is where registration happens, and Wyoming does not require you to use a paid middleman to sell to its agencies. Some separate things can cost money, such as a notary for a form, a professional license, insurance or a bid bond on construction work.
Which commodity codes does Wyoming use?
Wyoming matches vendors to bids with NIGP. NIGP codes are a commodity and services code set used by many state and local buyers. They are more detailed than NAICS for products, so pick the narrow five-digit codes that match what you sell rather than one broad class. If you also want federal work, you will need NAICS codes for SAM.gov; our free NAICS code lookup and the guide what a NAICS code is help you pick them.
Cities, counties and school districts in Wyoming
Cities, counties and school districts usually run their own purchasing and bid lists, so registering with the state does not register you with them; check each local buyer you want to sell to.
EasBid reads many of these local sources together with the state's, so one search shows state and local bids side by side.

Federal contracts in Wyoming
A Wyoming registration covers state agencies only. Federal agencies, including the military bases, VA medical centers and national parks in Wyoming, buy through SAM.gov, which has its own free registration and gives you a Unique Entity ID. Our step-by-step guide to registering in SAM.gov walks through it, and federal bids on EasBid lists open notices.
Tips for your first Wyoming bid
- Read the whole solicitation before you price anything; the due date, the question deadline and the submission method are usually on the first pages. Our guide on reading a solicitation shows what to look for.
- Ask questions in writing before the question deadline. Answers are usually posted as an addendum that every bidder can see.
- Check whether the bid needs a license, insurance certificate or bond, and get those started early.
- Submit through the channel the notice names, Public Purchase or otherwise, and leave a day of margin; late bids are normally rejected.
- Whether you win or lose, ask for the award results. They show the winning prices and help you price the next one.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a fee to register as a vendor in Wyoming?
No fee is stated on the official Wyoming pages read on November 10, 2026. Registration happens on Public Purchase (the State of Wyoming's online bid system).
What codes does Wyoming use for vendor registration?
Wyoming uses NIGP. Pick every code that matches what you sell, because the codes decide which bid notices you receive.
Does registering with Wyoming cover cities and counties?
Usually not. Cities, counties and school districts usually run their own purchasing and bid lists, so registering with the state does not register you with them; check each local buyer you want to sell to.
Is Wyoming vendor registration the same as SAM.gov?
No. Public Purchase (the State of Wyoming's online bid system) is for Wyoming state agencies. Federal contracts need a separate, free SAM.gov registration.
How do I find Wyoming government bids?
Watch Public Purchase (the State of Wyoming's online bid system) for state bids and the purchasing pages of the cities, counties and schools you want to sell to. EasBid lists open Wyoming bids from state, local and federal sources in one search (14 open as of November 11, 2026).
