CDS has changed its user validation system, and your user account must be recreated before you’ll be able to log in to CDS again..
  • If you previously had a login account for CDS, you’ll need to create a new account with the same email address you used for your previous account
  • If you are already a user of our VendorConnect procurement system, you can log in to CDS with the same credentials that you use there.
    VendorConnect uses the same validation system that CDS now uses. Registration in VendorConnect is not required, and you will still need to use CDS to report Payroll and Monthly Amounts Paid.

To create a new account or recreate your old one, click the REGISTER/LOGIN button on the home page, then click ‘Sign up now’. Once you’re able to log in, you should have the same access you had in the old system.
