Checklist

Create a vendor or supplier account on the official American Samoa procurement system linked on this page.
Enter legal business name, addresses, and contacts exactly as on formation and tax documents.
Select commodity or industry codes the portal requires (NIGP, UNSPSC, or local categories).
Complete any certification profiles you pursue through official program offices only.
Save credentials and check the portal on a schedule (or set alerts if offered).
Optionally keep an active SAM.gov registration if you also want federal work as a prime.

Confirm commodity or industry codes on the official registration form.

Free or low-cost counseling is available through APEX Accelerators (formerly PTACs). Find your local office at apexaccelerators.us. They will not bid for you, but they unstick paperwork.

What usually goes wrong

Wrong commodity or NIGP selections mean agencies never invite you to bid.
Registering on a catalog or ordering site is not the same as the bidder list.
Active SAM.gov registration does not put you on a state vendor list (and the reverse is also true).
State agency RFPs usually are not on SAM.gov. Federal place-of-performance notices are a different search.

American Samoa registration FAQ

How do I register as a vendor in American Samoa?

American Samoa procurement is agency- and territory-specific. Use official americansamoa.gov contacts and free APEX-network counseling where available. Confirm registration steps with the buying agency. Follow the checklist on this page, then complete every field only on the official portal.

Is American Samoa vendor registration free?

Many state portals charge nothing or only a small state fee. Confirm any fee on the official site. Never pay a third party who claims they can replace free official forms without explaining what you are buying.

Do I still need SAM.gov?

Yes for most federal prime work. American Samoa registration does not create a SAM Unique Entity ID. Start with the SAM.gov registration walkthrough if you need both tracks.

Should I pay an expediter?

Only if you understand the fee and still want hand-holding after free APEX counseling. Official registration is on government portals. Expediters do not make you more competitive on price or past performance.

What is the interest form on this page?

It measures whether businesses want assisted multi-portal registration later. Submitting interest is not registration and is not a commitment to pay.

Where is free counseling?

Use APEX Accelerators at https://www.apexaccelerators.us/. Free or low-cost counseling is available through APEX Accelerators (formerly PTACs). Find your local office at apexaccelerators.us. They will not bid for you, but they unstick paperwork.
