About this file
This document is a supplier and bidder registration guide from the State of Ohio's OhioBuys procurement platform, managed by the Office of Budget and Management. The guide outlines the two-step registration process for suppliers and bidders who want to do business with Ohio, requiring first registration in OhioPays (ohiopays.ohio.gov) and then access to OhioBuys (ohiobuys.ohio.gov). Users must obtain an OH|ID, an 8-digit personal identification that provides secure access to state applications. The document details available training resources including web-based eLearning videos, hosted webinars, and job aids, with support available through the Ohio Shared Services Team at 877-644-6771.
The platform allows suppliers to register as state payees, manage multiple addresses including remit-to locations, update profiles, view purchase orders and payment information, and track invoice status. OhioBuys functionality includes searching for suppliers by commodity codes, creating solicitations, notifying suppliers of bids, awarding contracts, and generating data analytics reports at both agency and enterprise levels. The system differentiates between fully registered Suppliers and Bidders who are not yet fully registered but want to respond to opportunities. The document emphasizes the importance of maintaining updated commodity codes and contact information within supplier accounts.
