The authorizing statute for this data
collection falls under 31 USC 3701 and Public Law 104-134, Section
31001, Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. The mission of the
Nationwide Vendor File Division of the Department of Veterans
Affairs – Financial Services Center (VA-FSC) is to add, modify, or
delete vendor records in the Financial Management Services (FMS)
vendor file. The VA-FSC FMS vendor file controls aspects of when,
where, and how vendors are paid. There are currently more than 2.4
million active vendor records in FMS. The VA-FSC Vendor File
Request Form, VA Form 10091, was created to streamline the data
required to establish a vendor record from multiple sources into a
single form. VA Form 10091 will be used throughout the VA to gather
essential payment data from vendors (commercial, individuals,
Veterans, employees, etc.) to establish or update vendor records in
order to process electronic payments through the ACH network to the
vendor's financial institution.
