New Supplier Registration (Only if you never had a vendor number/supplier ID with City of Houston)
If you have previously registered with the City of Houston and have a vendor number, please DO NOT use New Supplier Registration link. In order to avoid duplication and allow legacy suppliers to continue using the existing vendor number, we have sent out invitation to your email in record. Please use the link in the email to complete the process. If you have not received any invitation email, please contact HoustonPurchasing@houstontx.gov.
If you have already submitted a new request on Ariba Network, we will review your request and deny it once we find duplicated record(s).
