Success!!! They took a few days to reply but my account has been activated and I can order parts.
I'll admit it I was wrong and LabSpokane was right
.
So to summarize here's how I got my account:
1. Registered for a regular account (with my company domain e-mail) on the Keysight Website.
2. Went to the find a part store and registered for approval to order parts on the account created above (this is where your account is verified by customer support). Just put a part in your cart and click the register button next to the grayed out checkout button which will take you to the registration page. It will ask you for your name, e-mail, company name, billing, and shipping address.
3. Wait for the e-mail from customer support if your address was residential like mine was they will contact you saying the address is residential. I replied telling them that was my commercial address my home is my office. The next e-mail I received was the approval e-mail shown at the bottom of this post.
Long story short as long as you have your own domain that matches your company name you should be able to get an account to order parts. Just be prepared to wait a few days to get things set up.
No guarantees this will work for everyone and your mileage may vary but I just wanted to post what worked for me.
This is the approval e-mail:
