February 17 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Enter the code: VBOCR26 when you register!
This course explains the core principles of vendor activation and supplier onboarding—why registration exists, when it’s required, when it isn’t, and how to determine what applies to your specific contracting path. Rather than focusing on a single system or form, you’ll learn how vendor and supplier registrations function across federal, state, and local environments, as well as within prime contractor vendor databases. You’ll also see how these registrations support not only eligibility but also payment, vendor visibility and marketing, sourcing, and small-business utilization efforts.
In this course, you will learn:
- When registration is required—and when it may not be necessary
- How to determine which registrations apply to your business and target buyers
- The benefits of registration
- Why maintaining and updating registrations is critical to remaining active and visible
- How federal, state, and local vendor registration processes differ
- Where to find trusted training, resources, and support for registration and onboarding
- Why small business certifications and status matter in vendor and supplier systems
