Prospective Suppliers

Becoming a Supplier

All suppliers are required to register with Ariba. Without an Ariba account, suppliers will not be able to receive modifications or specific documents associated with their purchase orders/subcontracts. Please contact your Procurement Officer as soon as possible to complete your registration.

By completing this form, you will provide us with information about your organization and what you supply. This information will be held on file and may be used to assess your suitability to be considered to provide goods or services to us. This does not constitute a pre-qualification status. Please note LANL is unable to review and process your company as a supplier until the registration and subsequent questionnaire are completed.

Required Registration Information

The following information is required during the complete of the Ariba supplier registration questionnaire.

• Unique Entity ID (UEI)
  • If your entity does not have a UEI, please obtain a UEI at SAM.gov
• Tax ID Numbers
• NAICS Codes (top 3 preferred)
• Company Name
• Street Address, City, State, Zip Code
• Contact Names
• Phone numbers
• Email addresses
• Insurance
• Capability Statement
• Additional information

*Beginning April 4, 2022, the Unique Entity ID from SAM.gov is the authoritative identifier for those doing business with the federal government. The DUNS Number is no longer valid for federal award identification. For more information on the DUNS to UEI transition, please view the FAQ sheet on SAM.gov
