Vendor Resources
We are excited to help you do business with the State of Arkansas! Vendors need to be registered with Arkansas Vendor Services to contract with the State. If you aren’t already registered with Arkansas Vendor Services, you can do so through the Arkansas Vendor Services webpage.
There is no cost to register as a vendor with the State. Vendors should also register in ARBuy, the State’s electronic bidding solution, to be able to respond to solicitations posted through the central office. If you aren’t already registered with ARBuy, go to arbuy (arkansas.gov) and click on the Supplier Registration button on the upper right-hand side of the screen.
