Step-by-Step Guide
- The preferred method of payment is through a Visa purchasing card for small purchases.
- Suppliers wishing to do business with OCTC are encouraged to pre-qualify by registering as a New Vendor. If vendor does not accept Visa, be sure to get added to the KCTCS Vendor List. This will allow us to request a check from KCTCS System Office for payment or ACH electronic deposit payment.
- To Get Paid Faster, select the ACH electronic deposit payment option.
- A current certificate of liability insurance will be needed prior to the vendor doing any work on campus. See below for the insurance requirements.
- Once your company is added to our vendor list, we can issue Purchase Orders for larger purchases at the College and to any Kentucky Community and Technical College across the state.
