Vendor Registration Instructions

If you have already registered with Public Purchase previously, proceed directly to Step 2.

    2. Click on the "Tools" tab then, on the "Agencies" tab. (Agency tab in bar under tools)
    3. This will take you to the Agency search page. In the Agency name box type in Agency Name. Leave the "new Agency since" box blank. Make sure Registration Status says "ALL". Click on "search".
