ARC's Division of Procurement Services (DPS) serves as our contracting office. Detailed procurement-related information can be found on DPS's site.
This page provides information to vendors who provide services to the Administrative Resource Center (ARC) or to the customers that are serviced by ARC.

Contractors that provide services to government agencies are required to file registration information with the System for Award Management (SAM), unless the purchase is made with a government purchase card.
Registration with SAM is easy. You can register online in a matter of minutes with SAM or call 1-866-606-8220. SAM uses the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) to identify contractors. If you do not have a DUNS number, you may obtain one or call 1-866-990-5845.
Once you are registered in SAM, all of the information required to conduct future business with ARC -- or with any agency of the government -- is maintained in the system and only needs to be renewed once a year.
Please note that changing your business name, "doing business as" name, or division name in SAM without providing the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification will delay payment processing.

IPP is a secure web-based system that is free of charge and allows vendors to monitor the status of their invoice throughout the processing cycle. The following links provide answers to questions you might have about invoice processing:
