By understanding the processes the CPP goes through to qualify a vendor helps in understanding the qualifications. To maintain status as a QISV, the vendor must remain active on the CMBL and submit to the CPP a semiannual report showing their sales during a specific period of time. Deletion from the lists will make a QISV ineligible for AIS sales to the state. Some of the QISV approval letters date back to 1993, when the program first began. A new format was introduced in January 1997, with all active QISVs receiving this letter.
Old letters are still acceptable.
All approval letters are good as long as the vendor remains in good standing. It is the qualified entity's responsibility to verify a QISV's status in the program. To verifiy a vendor's status, go to Access to the Online QISV List . A vendor may become active again by resolving whatever created the problem.
