Vendors that are required to submit an invoice through IPP do not need to contact IPP to enroll. The agency they are conducting business with will initiate the enrollment process. After a vendor is enrolled, the initial vendor administrator user will receive an email from IPP with a link for them to log in, using either an existing ID.me or Login.gov account or creating a new one.
After logging into IPP, vendor administrators can add their users to the vendor account. Those users will receive a similar email with a link to log in to IPP, using either an existing ID.me or Login.gov account or creating a new one.
If users do not have an existing ID.me or Login.gov account, they can follow the instructions in the IPP.gov Vendor Logging In page to create an account. Users are required to set-up multi-factor authentication options for their account.
As a vendor who provides goods or services to a government agency, once logged in, users will have access to IPP's Collector module which will allow them to view purchase orders, submit invoices, and access payment information.
All government vendors must continue to maintain their account data in the System for Award Management (SAM) registry and recertify annually. Please visit http://www.sam.gov/ for more information.
