  1. Read OSP's Registration Information page and download the helpscripts: Vendor Registration, Phases of Vendor Registration, and UNSPSC Commodity Codes.
  2. Look up your UNSPSC commodity class codes with OSP's search tool.
  3. Open the LaGov Vendor Enrollment Portal and fill out the New Supplier Registration form.
  4. Submit, then close all your browser windows, as OSP tells you to.
  5. Watch your email for your permanent User ID (your LaGov Vendor Number) and a link to set your password.
  6. Log in to the vendor portal to finish or update your company information and product categories.
  7. Browse open bids on LaPAC by category, by department, or with Search for Open Bids.
What to have ready
  • Legal business name and FEIN/EIN (or SSN for sole proprietors)
  • A completed federal W-9. You must submit it before you can receive an award.
  • Registration and good standing with the Louisiana Secretary of State. OSP's vendor guide says you need this for state contracts.
  • UNSPSC commodity class codes for what you sell. OSP has a UNSPSC search and tree tool.
  • Contact name, email, phone and addresses
  • Hudson or LaVETS small business certification from Louisiana Economic Development, if you want to use those programs (applied for separately)
