Please note that obtaining a vendor number is separate from registering in the City’s e-Procurement system.

A vendor number is used strictly within the City’s financial system for payment and accounting purposes. It is not associated with your registration and cannot be searched for or located within the e-Procurement system.

To request a vendor number, vendors must submit the following documents:

• Completed W-9 Form
• Completed New Vendor Form

Both documents should be emailed to procurement@columbiasc.gov

Once the required documents are received and processed, a vendor number will be created and emailed to the requestor.
