Searching for Registered Vendors vs. Contract Vendors

Registered Vendors may be found by visiting the NC E-Procurement website at http://eprocurement.nc.gov/. Click 'Registered Vendor Search' from the menu to the left, and then click the large words 'Search for Registered Vendors.' This will bring up a pop-up window in which you can search a database of all registered vendors.
 
Note that the Registered Vendor Search is different from searching for vendors within the State Term Contract Catalog Search, also found on the menu on the NC E-Procurement Website (which is also the same catalog found by logging into Ariba Buyer located at http://buyer.ncgov.com). The catalog search only lists those vendors that have been awarded a State of North Carolina term contract. If you do not find a vendor within the catalog search, check the Registered Vendor Search listed above. For those vendors not listed in the catalog, you will need to create a non-catalog item to make purchases.
