2 - Register with County of Northampton:
Once you have received your activation email from Public Purchase, log into www.publicpurchase.com and accept the terms and conditions of use. Once registered with Public Purchase, the next step is to register on the site as a vendor of County of Northampton. The County requires that you select the appropriate NIGP Commodity Codes for quote notifications and complete a W-9 form for tax purposes. It is important that this second part of the registration is complete or you will not receive notifications of upcoming quote opportunities from the County.
