supplier profile questions

Why do I need to register my company’s information into USF’s Supplier Portal?

All payments are issued to registered entities at USF. The registration process allows you to provide required tax, diversity, insurance, and other information through a secure web site. As a registered supplier, you maintain the current information about you or your business in the portal. 

Is there a cost to register my company’s information or to access USF’s supplier portal?

No. There is no charge to access the supplier portal.

I am a current USF supplier; do I still need to register my company information into the portal?

If you are current USF supplier or have done business with us in the past - perhaps primarily through PCard, we still recommend that you create a profile. Our USF buyers use our database to find suppliers to meet their needs. 

What information is needed to complete the registration form?

The registration form will request your company’s information, including but not limited to, your company’s legal name, DBA name, contact information, Tax Identification Number (TIN), remittance information, insurance, NAICS code, and categories of goods or services provided. The registration also will request diverse and small business information.

How long will it take me to register my company information?

On average, the registration form will take approximately 15 minutes to complete, considering you have all the required information gathered and on-hand.  The registration process also allows you to save and come back to complete your registration at a later time.

How will I know USF has received my registration?

Once you have completed the registration form and click the “Submit” button, a confirmation screen will appear informing you that your registration has been submitted for review. You will also receive an email confirming your submission.

What are the next steps after registering?

If you are registering at the request of a USF Department, they will be notified that your registration has been complete and can contact you to discuss purchase
details and provide you with a Purchase Order number, if applicable. 
If you are registering in advance of a request from a Department, or to respond to public opportunities, it is up to you to market your business to potential buyers. 

How do I access USF’s supplier portal?

If you are an invited supplier, you must use the Register Now link contained in the invitation email to access your profile. If you do not receive the link, please contact suppliersetup@usf.edu. If you start your registration, but need to come back to it at a later date, you can access you profile here.

Who can access USF’s Supplier Portal?

Any supplier that has completed the registration form and has received notification that their registration is accepted can access the supplier portal.

What do I do if I forget my password?

If you have forgotten your password, you may reset your password by clicking on the “Forgot your Password” link on the supplier portal login and registration page.

How do I add additional users to access the supplier portal?

If would like to add additional users to access the portal, you may add the users directly through the supplier portal. 

How do I update my company’s information?

If you would like to update your company information, you may make changes directly through the supplier portal. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the Supplier Registration Quick Reference Guide available on our website.

I need assistance in completing the Supplier Self Registration form. Who do I contact?

For assistance in completing the Supplier Self Registration form, we encourage you to review the Supplier Registration Instructions that is available on our website. If additional assistance is needed, you may contact suppliersetup@usf.edu.

I have questions that these FAQ and the help "?" in the portal cannot answer - who can I
contact?

What does Jaggaer do with the information I enter into my profile? Will it be sold or used for any purpose not described in this registration process?
