How to become a registered supplier
STep 1 - Are you already a supplier?:
Check to see if you are currently registered as a supplier for the University of Wyoming, or to verify that your status is Active in our system using our Supplier Look-Up Tool.
If you need to make edits to any of your supplier information or you are showing as an Inactive supplier, please reach out to new-supplier-request@uwyo.edu.
No further action is needed if you are already set-up as a supplier. You can let the department you are working with know you are an active supplier.
If you are not currently registered as a supplier, you will need to complete the Supplier-Self Registration.
Step 2 - Completing a IRS W-9:
Before beginning the supplier self-registration, you will need to complete an IRS W-9.
If you are not a U.S. citizen, resident alien, or U.S. business, you will need to contact the Tax Office at tax@uwyo.edu or 307-766-2821 as additional tax documents may be needed.
The IRS W-9 will need to include a handwritten "wet" signature or authenticated Adobe digital signature or authenticated DocuSign electronic signature with validation envelope intact. Procurement Services does offer suppliers the ability to use DocuSign to electronically sign their IRS W9. For a step-by-step guide on this process, please refer to Complete IRS W-9 with DocuSign.
Step 3 - Complete the self-registration:
With your IRS W-9, you can now complete the supplier self-registration. The registration is for both individuals and businesses. If you need any assistance with the supplier-registration, we recommend checking out our Quick Reference Guide on the Supplier Self-Registration as this will walk you through step-by-step!
Upon completion of these steps, your information will be successfully submitted to the University of Wyoming. Please be advised that your information must undergo a review and approval process conducted by the Procurement Services department before you can be established as a registered supplier. This review typically takes 1–2 business days; however, processing times may vary depending on operational demands.
