Registration is required to compete for federal government procurement and contracts. The federal government's Business Partner Network (BPN) is the single source for vendor data for the Federal Government.

    * Obtain a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, a unique 9-digit identification number for each physical location of a business.
    * Register with the government's Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. For help, use Central Contractor Registration Handbook.
    * Complete an Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA).


Review Small Disadvantaged Business Certification and Eligibility (SDB) If your business is classified as small or disadvantaged, this certification may lead to more federal procurement opportunities.

Additional statistical codes, required for many government forms:

    * North American Industrial Classification Code (NAICS) Identify products or services for more than 1,000 industries.
    * Federal Supply Classification Groups and Classes (FSC) Classify products and services purchased by the military and many civilian agencies.
