Connected Vendors 

Since July 16, the Supplier Onboarding Team has initiated invites to 1,120 select suppliers during soft launch of the platform. Of those suppliers, 430 have been connected (onboarded) and another 150 are pending approval. 

Reminder: If suppliers contact you to verify the legitimacy of the email invite, please reassure them that this is NC State’s new supplier onboarding process and direct them to the Supplier Information Manual for Vendors
