To be added to the bidders list

To be added to the bidders list you must complete the online registration process by clicking here. Once registered, navigated to “Vendor Commodity Codes” and add relevant codes to your account. The City of Kalamazoo currently uses the 5-digit NIGP (National Institute of Governmental Purchasing) commodity codes to identify which goods and services are needed/can be provided by a vendor. The commodity code list can be viewed and/or searched to find all relevant commodity codes (you can use the search function by pressing the “control” and “f” keys simultaneously). These commodity codes must be added to your profile, as they will determine which bid opportunities you are notified of. You will receive notices via email, so please ensure that you provide a valid email address that is monitored regularly. If a bidder is unable to be contacted via the bidders list information on file, they will be inactivated from the bidders list program until contact information is updated.
