• 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 Southwest Supply and Acquisition Center 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. Utilization of these resources also requires the vendor to update the various stages of purchase order processing status in OMS. This is a mandatory requirement. Failure to do so may result in termination of the BPA.
