How to register, step by step
- Gather your information. Have these ready: Complete a Vendor Registration & Disclosure in VSS (or submit form WV-1 by email); Pay the $125 annual fee if orders exceed $5,000 annually; Compliance with state programs (Secretary of State, Tax Division, Unemployment Compensation, Workers' Compensation) to receive a contract or purchase order.
- Register in wvOASIS Vendor Self-Service (VSS). Start at prd311.wvoasis.gov. Use your exact legal name and taxpayer ID so your record matches tax and payment systems.
- Describe what you sell. If the system asks for commodity or service codes, choose them carefully: agencies and bid notices often use them to find vendors.
- Keep your profile current. Update contacts, codes and documents so notices and purchase orders reach the right people.
- Look beyond the state. Cities, counties, school districts, universities and utilities in West Virginia often run their own vendor registration and bid systems.
Good to know
Registration lets vendors participate in and receive notification of competitive bid opportunities; bids can be viewed without registering.
After you register
Registration is the entry ticket, not the sale. Most state purchases above small-dollar thresholds go through competitive bids or existing contracts, including cooperative contracts many agencies use. Watch the state's bid notices, learn which contracts agencies buy from, and start conversations with the program staff who own the problems you solve before a solicitation is written. Our guides to government buying signals and cooperative purchasing explain how.
