Adding a vendor to the NIHITS database
For assistance with NIHITS nominations or adding new vendors into the NBS Oracle database, please contact the NIH Help Desk at (301) 496-4357 or email at nihhelpdesk@mail.nih.gov.
Following are step-by-step instructions on how to add a vendor into the NIHITS database:
Question: Is the vendor registered with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR)?
- IF NOT, ask the vendor to register with the CCR at http://www.ccr.gov.
- IF YES, is the vendor in the NBS database? If you do not know, you will need to contact your HPOC to find out.
- If the vendor just registered with the CCR, they will not yet be in the NBS system OR NIHITS database.
- To add a vendor to the NBS manually, submit the attached NIH Vendor Request Form. Please refer to the NBS Job Aid for step-by-step instructions on how to add a vendor to the NBS system.
- Once the vendor is successfully added to the NBS system, you will need to create a NIH Help Desk ticket either via email to nihhelpdesk@mail.nih.gov, or by phone at 301-496-4357, to add the vendor into the NIHITS database. Please include the company's name, address and Tax Payer ID number in your help desk request. The NIH Help Desk will forward your request to the NIHITS Administrator for completion.
