The Verified Products Portal, or VPP, enables authorized original equipment manufacturers, also called OEMs, and their wholesalers to fulfill the letter of supply requirement by providing supplier authorization information and detailed product content, such as:
Standardized manufacturer names and part numbers.
Product specifications, including images, videos, and PDFs.
The VPP is voluntary, free to use, and will improve the representation of your commercial off-the-shelf products. Its product and supplier data will identify prohibited products and standardize contractor catalogs, ensuring products are accurately represented in our ecommerce platforms such as GSA Advantage.
Reduce supply chain risk with more hands-on control
Control who can sell products and what product lines they can sell, reducing burden on vendors to provide letters of supply and product specifications.
Authorize and deauthorize products and resellers, ensuring product and vendor authenticity.
Improve customer experience with additional materials.

even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.
