Supplier Certification & Pre-Qualification Overview

Entergy’s pre-qualification process ensures that companies can provide quality products and services needed for Entergy's procurement needs. At every step, Supplier Diversity and Development works directly with diverse suppliers to make your participation in the program rewarding.

Entergy’s Supplier Pre-Qualification Program streamlines the certification process by qualifying and registering all suppliers. All suppliers are asked to complete an electronic application through CVM Solutions Inc., a third-party verification supplier acting as administrator on behalf of Entergy. The primary purpose of this process is to increase visibility of qualified suppliers throughout the Entergy system.

By utilizing Entergy’s Qualification system, suppliers will be able to:

• Electronically submit information substantiating their qualifications to provide products and services to Entergy
• Provide the appropriate designation regarding ownership status (i.e., minority, woman-owned, small, disadvantaged, veteran and disable veteran-owned, HUB Zone, etc.)
• Utilize the system for entering safety and compliance related information

Purpose of Entergy’s Qualification system

• To serve as the central repository for validation of services (i.e., insurance, certifications, licenses, safety programs, rating, financial reports, etc.)
• Primary source of current contact information, which suppliers will be able to update contact data as needed

Cost

The initial fee associated with applying for qualification status in the system is:

• $50 for Materials Suppliers (annual renewal fee is $35)
• $100 for Services Suppliers (annual renewal fee is $50)

Participation in the Entergy Supplier Qualification and Self Reporting System is required for all suppliers who wish to or continue doing business with Entergy.
