How to register to bid in Alaska

Where to register
IRIS Vendor Self Service (VSS)
Cost to register
Free (no fee mentioned on official pages)
Where Alaska posts bids
aws.state.ak.us

Per the state's VSS "Create a New Account" guide:

  1. Go to iris-vss.alaska.gov and choose to register. VSS is available 6:00 am to 6:00 pm Alaska Time, seven days a week.
  2. Accept the terms and review the FAQ.
  3. Search for your business by Taxpayer ID or business name (individuals use last name and last 4 of SSN) so you don't create a duplicate.
  4. Create your user ID and password. Write them down.
  5. Open the verification email and use its link to continue registration.
  6. Log in, select your tax ID type and business classification, and verify identity.
  7. Add addresses (administrative, ordering, payment, billing) and email contacts.
  8. Select your commodity (NIGP) codes and business types.
  9. Review the summary and submit. The Division of Finance verifies it; record your new vendor code.

Prefer paper? You can instead send the State of Alaska Substitute W-9 to the Vendor Help Desk by email or fax.

What to have ready
  • Legal business name and Taxpayer ID (FEIN/EIN; SSN or ITIN for individuals). The state runs an IRS TIN match against your legal name, so they must match exactly.
  • A valid Alaska business license (required to be awarded a contract)
  • Addresses: at minimum an active payment address and ordering address
  • Email address(es) for state communications
  • Commodity codes: Alaska uses NIGP codes; look yours up before starting
  • Business classification (e.g., corporation, LLC, sole proprietor)
