In a supply chain, a vendor, supplier, provider or a seller, is an enterprise that contributes goods or services. Generally, a supply chain vendor manufactures inventory/stock items and sells them to the next link in the chain. Today, these terms refer to a supplier of any goods or service.
vendor
A vendor is a supply chain management term that means anyone who provides goods or services of experience to another entity. Vendors may sell B2B (business-to-business; i.e., to other companies), B2C (business to consumers or Direct-to-consumer), or B2G (business to government). Some vendors manufacture inventoriable items and then sell those items to customers, while other vendors offer services or experiences.The term vendor and the term supplier are often used indifferently. The difference is that the vendors sells the goods or services while the supplier provides the goods or services.[1] In most of business context, except retail, this difference has no impact and words are interchangeable.[2]
There must be a vendor relationship with a supplier if a small firm or a major organization wants to resell a product. Vendor registration entails several steps in the process, including completing a credit application, placing a company credit card on file for payments, giving them your company phone number, and establishing payment terms.

The Vendor Performance Tracking System (VPTS) provides the state procurement community with a comprehensive tool for evaluating vendor performance to reduce risk in the contract awarding process. VPTS is maintained by the Statewide Procurement Division (SPD) of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA). State agencies are required to utilize the VPTS to determine whether to award a contract to a vendor based on past performance, which includes review and consideration of published vendor performance reports. Vendor reporting allows agencies to share vendor performance information and assist in efficient oversight of state contracts.
State agencies are required to report vendor performance for any purchase of goods or services exceeding $25,000 and during key milestones identified in the contract if the value of the contract exceeds $5 million. In addition, at least once each year during the term of the contract.
