The following questions were asked by vendor and this Question & Answer was created to address those questions.
Question 1: We want to make absolutely certain that the BEP companies are certified to sell us the products they are quoting to us. How do we cross check the NIGP codes a BEP vendor is certified for?

Answer: You can verify the BEP Diversity Compliance website against their certification letter to ensure its accuracy. The website for BEP Diversity Compliance is https://cms.diversitycompliance.com/
