What are SVH Options 1 and 2 as it relates to the PPV program and PPV eligibility website?
Options 1 and 2 are the methods of the SVHs participation in the PPV program. The options determine the pricing eligibility under the PPV program. Under Option 1, the SVH does its own ordering, receives products direct, and then State Funds are used to make payment to the PPV. A participating Option 1 SVH is entitled to the benefits of the PPV contract along with FSS pricing. Under Option 2, the SVHs orders are authorized and paid for by the sponsoring VA. The sponsoring VA assigns a federal purchase order number and transmits the order to the PPV. The VA also makes payment to the PPV on behalf of the SVH. Since Option 2 orders are considered VA orders and paid for via Federal funds, the SVH is entitled to the same pricing and contract access as their sponsoring VA. A participating Option 2 SVH is entitled to the benefits of the PPV program and Big4/FCP pricing.
