ATTENTION: The downtime of the current VIPR system will NOT affect the status of current agreements or vendors' ability to receive and accept orders. However, vendors will not be able to submit new quotes or make changes until VIPR Next Gen goes live in 2026..

Notice for all vendors: Please ensure that you have identified vipr@usda.gov as a trusted source for receiving emails. We have seen instances where some email servers reject these emails as "spoofing" and/or a sign of "phishing" or "scamming."

The VIPR application is available for vendors to use when responding to solicitations or modifications for all resources. VIPR is now interconnected with the System for Award Management (SAM), which means vendors who use VIPR MUST have active SAM accounts. Also, VIPR vendors MUST ensure their vendor company name, company DBA, company address and mailing address in VIPR match the information that is in their SAM records.

From the SAM.gov Web site, you can view a PDF version of open solicitations (and amendments) for solicitations with resources that use the vendor application:

However, to submit a quote for these solicitations, you will need to use the vendor application.

In the vendor application, you can view the solicitations and start the quote process by doing either of the following:

On the Home page, click on Find Solicitations.
From the main navigation menu, click on Open Solicitations.

As part of the quote process, you are required to complete Reps and Certs in SAM at https://www.sam.gov.

This information will now be captured through the company information in the vendor application. Use the Edit Company Information wizard to complete this information before you submit a quote.
