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:
Manufacturer names and part numbers
Product specifications, including images, videos, and PDFs
The VPP is a free, voluntary tool on GSA Advantage! designed to enhance the visibility and accuracy of your commercial off-the-shelf offerings. The VPP delivers verified product and supplier details and helps pinpoint non-compliant offerings and correct product representation.
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.
Improve customer experience with additional materials.
Manufacturers and wholesalers upload and manage product details and approve which sellers can offer your products.
Third party content providers provide product coverage, but no authorization. This includes NIQ Brandbank and ICECAT.
Who should not use the VPP?
Multiple Award Schedule vendors and the acquisition workforce should instead use the data provided in the Compliance and Pricing Report, returned via the FAS Catalog Platform and the Compliance & Pricing Reporting Portal.
