Your response may be deemed as “unresponsive” 和 ineligible for contract award for failure to include information 和 certifications requested.

During registration, you will be asked to select certain commodity codes. The commodity code section is particularly important because the District uses them when searching for suppliers/vendors who sell a specific product or service. Please take the opportunity to include all of the commodity codes that reflect your company's merch和ise 和/or services. The following link may be used to access the full list of commodity codes currently used by the District:

Following registration, you will receive a confirmation email. Please save or print this email as it contains your vendor number, your log in ID, 和 your password. If you do not receive this email, please check your junk email as it is often directed there depending on firewall settings.
Vendor qualifications are not reviewed before being added to the Bidder Database. There is no determination of whether your company is a responsible vendor. The 营养 Services Branch determines vendor responsibility on an individual case by case basis.
