WSDOT wants small businesses to work with us as:
- contractors
- consultants
- vendors
To help small business owners find these opportunities, we’ve gathered the necessary information here for you to start doing business with WSDOT.
Register to do Business with the State
Before doing business with any state agency, including WSDOT:
- Register your business using Washington’s Electronic Business Solution (WEBS) vendor registration system.
- Sign up with the Statewide Payee Desk so you can receive payment for services or products provided to a state agency. Although many businesses wait until they’ve secured a contract to sign up with the Payee Desk, we recommend that you do so as soon as possible. It makes it easier for us to award a contract to you if your business is already in the system and ready to receive payment.
