Doing Business with EDS as Vendor
Registration
Registration in the vendor portal does not guarantee a business opportunity, place your company on an approved vendor list, or obligate Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) to solicit requests for bids, quotations, or proposals. Registration does, however, give EDS decision-makers access to your company’s information when conducting supplier searches so that they may contact you directly regarding upcoming opportunities.
Documents
All documents must be completed in full and submitted via the instructions:
