Vendor Information

​​​​​​​​​​What is a Vendor

While a vendor can be all-encompassing, a vendor in this circumstance is an individual or business providing services to OVR consumers that will lead to competitive integrated employment. The Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) serves consumers with educational, employment, and independence needs. Because some consumers may require services not provided through the agency, OVR relies on vendors to fulfill those services. 


Becoming a Vendor

Thank you for choosing to provide services to consumers of OVR!​ 

All new applicants are required to review the Vendor Manual​​​.​ The Vendor Manual provides vendors with resources needed to conduct business with OVR. This includes instruction on how to apply to provide services and the qualification requirements needed for approval.  

The Vendor Application Form​​ is for potential or current vendors to apply to provide specific services. Vendors shall review the Vendor Manual and attach the applicable qualification requirements with the application.​ 

Note: the entire application needs submitted to the agency, even if not all pages are utilized.  Once the application is submitted, the review process shall begin. 

The agency may take up to thirty (30) days to process an application, pending any additional information needed.  The agency will contact the applicant with confirmation of approval or denial. If approved, additional instructions on finalizing registration will be included.


Establishing a Vendor Account

A vendor number, provided by the Finance and Administration Cabinet, is required for the vendor to receive payment for services provided. Once OVR approves a vendor to provide services, the Vendor Self Service How to Register​​ guide should be utilized for instructions on how to establish a vendor number. 

If a vendor is unable to establish a vendor number, the EZ Vendor Registration Application may be submitted to OVRVendors@ky.gov for additional assistance from OVR personnel.

Modifying a Vendor Account

To ensure payment for services provided, vendors must mantain up-to-date account information. To make modifications to an already established vendor account, refer to the Updating Vendor Account Information ​guide. 

Annual Renewal

The Vendor Agreement​​​ includes the terms that approved vendors must sign and adhere to annually in order to continue providing services for the agency's consumers. If a vendor does not complete the annual recertification process by the end of business on June 30, beginning July 1, the vendor is considered inactive and will not be used until approval is completed.


Additional Forms

The SAS-63​ is the form to submit that allows the agency to pay the individual or business via electronic deposit.

The W-9 Form allows the ability to provide the taxpayer identification number (TIN) needed to complete an information return.

Payment

OVR compensates vendors to perform authorized services for consumers. OVR funds are federally directed to serve consumers with disabilites to assist in their employment and education goals. Because of various factors involved with vendor payments, OVR will systematically review and set service fees based on internal controls.

Please visit Service Fee Memorandums​ for a current list of rates.
