Single Sign-On Instructions for DS Logon (Veterans) or ID.me Account (Non-Veterans and Representatives)

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of the Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) has enhanced the Vendor Information Pages (VIP) to support the Vets First Verification Program. The new VIP will enable OSDBU to more effectively manage all aspects of the Vets First Verification Program while improving the online experience of Veterans as well as the broader user community.

To ensure your access to the re-designed VIP system, you must have a DS Logon (Veterans) or create a ID.me account (Non-Veterans and representatives). You must be enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) to obtain a DS Logon.

If you have any questions, please call the VA Call Center at 866-584-2344.
