How to register to bid in Washington

Where to register
WEBS (Washington's Electronic Business Solution)
Cost to register
Free (no fee in DES materials; the Office of Minority and Women's Business Enterprises calls WEBS registration "no-cost")
Where Washington posts bids
pr-webs-vendor.des.wa.gov

The WEBS Vendor Manual (2020) describes five registration sections:

  1. Account Administrator and Company Profile: enter the administrator's details and your company information.
  2. Ownership Profile: optional demographic data and certifications (OMWBE, veteran-owned, small business).
  3. Additional Contacts: add other users and choose who gets notices.
  4. Commodity Codes: pick at least one NIGP code.
  5. Geographic Designations: pick the counties you serve.

Then submit. Add WEBSCustomerService@des.wa.gov to your safe senders list so bid notices and password emails don't go to spam.

What to have ready
  • Business name, address, and an account administrator (the main contact)
  • Your tax and business IDs, such as FEIN and Washington UBI number. The vendor manual doesn't list these fields, so have them handy.
  • NIGP commodity codes for what you sell. WEBS uses 4- or 5-digit NIGP codes grouped as Goods, Services, or Construction, and DES posts a code list.
  • The Washington counties you can serve
  • Optional: small business, veteran-owned, or OMWBE certification details. Small business status is based on employee count and gross revenue from your tax returns for the last three years.
