Vendor Registration

Any prospective or current vendor must complete the State of Kansas vendor registration application to get on the Division of Purchases bid list.  

Vendor Registration Application:

Please click on the following link to download the "application" and "list of commodities and services."   Both documents are included in the same file:

• Vendor Registration Application and List of Commodity Codes (MS Word Format)

Please complete the form carefully, enclose a $10.00 check for processing the application, made payable to the "State of Kansas" and return to:

• Division of Purchases
  Landon State Office Bldg
  900 SW Jackson Room 102N
  Topeka KS 66612-1286

Once the completed application is received, the information goes into a vendor database.  Registration as a Kansas vendor will not guarantee that your company will receive copies of all solicitations for your selected categories.  Our mailing lists normally include companies that have submitted bids for similar items in the past, companies recommended by the requiring state agency and a random selection of new vendors from our vendor database.  After registration, it is still important that you continue your marketing activities.  The current bid solicitations are located on the following webpage:  http://www.da.ks.gov/RFQ/default.asp.  No renewal notices will be sent to vendors.  It is the vendors responsibility to review the registration in a timely manner.
