GSC does not send approval letters for updates. A copy of the update approval internal work form will be included with the vendor's GSC catalogue. Negotiations should be handled by a representative of the user entity trained in the art of negotiations and has decision authority. All negotiations should be allowed with all QISVs giving offers if one or more is given the opportunity to change their offer. This is a touch-tone response line.
Electronic formats are unacceptable.
We receive a large amount of vendors requesting inclusion in the catalogue program. Many of these are calls from vendors requesting their application be expedited. If you as an agency determine that a particular vendor needs to have their approval expedited, we are requiring a written request for such action from the agency. We can not promise that the application will be approved immediately, but we will attempt to process the application as soon as possible. A state agency may purchase or lease AIS products or services directly from a QISV and may negotiate additional terms and conditions to be included in contracts relating to the purchase or lease.
