DIR values the relationship with vendors, but in order to capture the value that is being delivered through our contracts, vendors are a vital component.
Vendors with contracts to sell through DIR are obligated to:
- Submit monthly Vendor Sales Report (VSR) of sales for DIR customers
- Pay admin fees based on your contract
Why is this data important to DIR?
This cumulative data is used to inform state budget decisions and future legislation, as well as future contract requirements. DIR gathers and reports the types of goods and services purchased by DIR customers and calculates overall cost savings.
VSR Portal
Access the VSR Portal (link below) to upload your monthly submission. Each contract is allowed five (5) contacts to report on behalf of your company. Contact your Contract Manager listed on your Contract Page to set this up. If you're having issues logging in to the VSR, contact [email protected].
For assistance with VSR sales reporting errors please contact [email protected] and provide your DIR contract number in the subject line of your email.

- VSRs are subject to audit by DIR or the State Auditor's Office (SAO) or other designated entities.
Admin Fee Basics
- Admin fees are calculated based on your VSR and the Admin Fee percent based on your contract
- After your VSR has been processed, DIR will send an email in the following month with your final admin fee. Do not pay until you see our email!
- Month Close email with your final admin fee is sent by the 10th of the following month
- Example: VSR submitted for January will have the month close email and final admin fee by March 10th.
- Remitting Payments:
- ACH Payment or Check
- ACH Payment is highly recommended for speed, accuracy, and the information related to payment
- Fill out the following ACH Payment form (found in Resources section below) to get ACH authorization.
- Payments are due by the 25th of the month when the final Admin fee email is received.
