R. There will be no minimum order amount under this SQA.

• VP provides an internet portal for vendors to retrieve orders and manually input transactional data.

EDI is the preferred business transaction processing method, but vendors with small order volumes and less technical proficiency may use VP for reasons of lower overall costs and/or higher implementation costs for EDI.

Vendors are hereby notified that all new awardees are required to select either Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or OMS Vendor Portal (VP) to interface with GSA Global Supply on receiving orders resulting from their award. EDI is the preferred method of order transmission to our vendors but OMS Vendor Portal is an acceptable means of transmission.

Vendors are required to review the instructions regarding enrollment in either one of these systems and processes contained in Attachment 1 of this solicitation/RFQ.

Enrollment in either program is required upon award and must be requested no later than 5 days after receipt of award. Failure to enroll may cause your award to be cancelled or terminated.

For further instructions on how to enroll in either program please contact the following:

EDI: GSAEDI@gsa.gov or EDI Help Desk at 703-605-9444 / Vendor Portal: Gee.Jeon@gsa.gov or NCSC at 800-488-3111
