Dear Vendor,
Columbus Zoo and Aquarium would like to send a reminder of its new Compliance Diversity System. The Compliance Diversity System will allow vendors the ability to easily register with the Columbus zoo as diverse suppliers by submitting an electronic qualification statement, as well as updating contact information. This new process will allow vendors to register with Columbus Zoo electronically and simultaneously become a part of the Zoo’s distribution list for events, outreach, networking, and procurement activities.
Go to the following link: https://columbuszoo.diversitysoftware.com/ to access the system. Click ‘APPLY FOR REGISTRATION’ then ‘Create Account’. Follow the prompts accordingly. Once you have your temporary password, you can go directly into the system. First, change your temporary password for security purposes. There is no cost to you for this service. Please note, you may already have a login for this system, as the compliance system is used by other agencies you may already do business with. If you do, your username and password will be the same for the Columbus Zoo login.
Vendor registration training classes are offered twice a month. You can RSVP for the training by clicking on the System Training Classes link on the main portal page and viewing the Vendor Registration & Questionnaire – Vendor Training. There is no cost for this training and there is no cost for registering with Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.
We at Columbus Zoo are excited to begin utilizing this software, which will improve the speed, effectiveness, and transparency of our processes and efforts to support you in doing business with our agency. Our organization remains committed to your success and will continue to look for innovative ways to assist you in growing your business through our partnership.
For more information regarding this program, please send an email inquiry to CDSRegistration@columbuszoo.org or felix.garcia@columbuszoo.org. Thank you in advance for your participation.
