Other basic information such as names, owners, principals, address, contact information, telephone, e-mail, etc. will be requested through the on-screen application form. Registration at Basic Level is mandatory to participate in Ãå±±½ûµØSecretariat tender exercises.

All vendors are encouraged to start the registration process at Level 1. Only vendors interested in contracts up to $150,000 should register at Basic Level. After completion of registration at Level 1, vendors can upgrade to Level 2 registration at any time.

Evaluation of Applications for registration: Each application will be evaluated by the Ãå±±½ûµØSecretariat based on compliance with the eligibility criteria and the criteria for the required levels of registration such as completeness and quality of information provided, relevance of the goods or services, references, experience, evidence of ability to perform, and the overall financial soundness of the vendor. Successful vendors will be notified of the completion of their registration by e-mail addressed from the UNGM Registry.

Important Tips and Information

Selection of codes from the United Nations Standard Product and Services Code (UNSPSC): the Ãå±±½ûµØSecretariat uses the UNSPSC codes to search vendors for bidding opportunities. It is important for vendors to note that, they are limited to select up to seven (7) UNSPSC. The Ãå±±½ûµØSecretariat will take into consideration ONLY the first seven (7) codes listed on the screen in your company’s application. Therefore, vendors are encouraged to prioritize and limit their selection of the UNSPSC codes to ensure that their “core” goods and/or services are fully represented.

Change of Company Status/Information: When the status of your company changes from the time of registration, you are required to update your company’s profile in UNGM by submitting the most current and valid copy of the document issued by your public authority that confirms said status without delay.

Invitations to tendering exercises: Submitting a completed application through UNGM does not mean that you will be automatically included in the Database. Registration will depend on the result of the evaluation. The Ãå±±½ûµØSecretariat will attempt to include all registered vendors in vendor solicitations for each commodity category.

GSA Contracts: For companies in the USA, you are advised that the United Nations, under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, is eligible to receive full benefits under GSA Contracts where applicable.
