Setting up Electronic Funds Transfer
The state of West Virginia utilizes wvOASIS to solicit goods and services exceeding $20,000. Agencies are delegated authority up to $50,000, and the West Virginia Purchasing Division processes contracts above that amount. Some exceptions apply.
Marketing your goods and services
-
◼ Reach out directly to the state’s designated procurement officers.
-
◼ Add commodity codes to your Vendor Self Service (VSS) account. The state uses UNSPSC commodity codes, which is a system that helps organize goods and services into categories. West Virginia state agencies can identify vendors who provide a specific good or service by pulling reports of vendors by commodity code.
