Informational Meeting Required Before applying, please attend an informational meeting to learn about the Regional Center system, San Diego Regional Center, and the application process. These group sessions are hosted by our Resource Coordinators by service category and are scheduled throughout the year, not individually. After attending, you'll be ready to proceed with your application. Contact the assigned Resource Coordinator for details on upcoming sessions.

The following describes how to become a vendored service provider. What is Vendorization? “Vendorization” is the term used to describe the approval process to provide services through regional centers to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. You apply for vendorization online through the Provider Directory. This is where you will submit required information and documents, communicate with regional centers, and track your progress. Your application will be reviewed by the vendoring regional center - the center responsible for the geographic area (also known as catchment area) where your site-based service or operating office is located. The regional center will review your documents and determine if you meet the requirements. If approved, you’ll be assigned a vendor number and a service code in the Provider Directory. Who Can Apply? Potential New Providers: People or agencies who want to start offering services and supports to Californians with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Existing Providers: Providers who want to add new services or expand to new areas. Family Members or Guardians: People supporting individuals through the provision of specific services agreed upon by the individual program plan team. Who Cannot Apply in the Directory? Entities seeking to provide service to individuals in the Self-Determination Program cannot apply in the Provider Directory, except for Financial Management Services (FMS) service codes 315-317. Vendorizations for 024 (Purchase Reimbursement), 065 (SSP Restoration), and 400 (Non-reimbursed Personal and Incidental (P & I) are to be completed outside the Provider Directory. When should you apply for vendorization in the Directory? Applicants can start a vendorization application at any time. However, if applying for an emergency vendorization or applying for vendorization of certain specialized facilities through the Community Placement Plan (CPP) or Community Resource Development Plan (CRDP) project, contact SDRC to learn how to begin your application process and when to create your login profile to apply in the Provider Directory. How can I prepare? You must determine what service type you are planning to provide and understand applicable statutes, regulations and directives issued by the Department of Developmental Services based on your experience and expertise. The Department of Developmental Services is governed by Title 17 Division 2 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) . Vendorization is governed by Title 17, Division 2, Chapter 3, Subchapter 2 . These rules explain: What services regional centers can fund What providers must do to qualify How the vendorization process works What is required to maintain your vendorization The commonly used terms you need to know To learn more about services offered through regional centers, visit the Regional Center Services and Descriptions webpage on the Department of Developmental Services’ website. NOTE: Please review the service codes applicable to the service you are providing. What are the Steps to Apply? Vendorization application steps and processing time requirements The vendorization process is done online through the Provider Directory. Here’s what to expect: Step 1: Create or login to existing Provider Directory Profile Open browser and type https://caddsprod.servicenowservices.com/spd If your business is new to the Provider Directory, create login profile. If your business is in the Provider Directory, login with existing credentials. Step 2: Submit requirements Submit information to show you meet the minimum requirements. The regional center will review your request within 15 calendar days. Step 3: Submit Application If you meet the basic requirements, you’ll be asked to submit additional information and documents to support your application. When all requested information is received, the regional center will review your application for completeness within 30 calendar days. If anything is missing or incorrect, you’ll have 30 calendar days to submit it. The submission review timeline/clock pauses for the regional center during this time and does not reset. Step 4: Receive decision When the application is complete, the regional center will review the application The regional center will make a vendorization decision within 45 calendar days. If approved, you’ll receive a vendor number. If not approved, you’ll receive a denial notice with rights to appeal the decision. Helpful Information Applicants should review the DDS Service Code Listing and Title 17 Regulations to learn about the services we provide and the minimum requirements for each service category: DDS Service Code Descriptions . SDRC also has our own internal processes, procedures, and requirements that may differ from other regional centers. Under the requirements stage, the following documents are required for submission, based on the service code requirements: Resume, CCL License, Business License, Professional License, Academic Degree, Credential, and Certificates. For additional service codes, like FMS, additional documents are required such as Proof of Fiscal Solvency, Proof of Employment, and Proof of Self Determination Program Training Completion. Application documents need to be correctly filled in, signed, and dated. They need to be scanned PDFs and as whole document packets if more than one page. They cannot be pictures or screenshots and cannot be in other formats. SDRC cannot provide IT related assistance with the DDS Service Provider Portal. The DDS website contains a PDF user manual, video tutorials, FAQ sheets, and other training materials: Provider Directory : CA Department of Developmental Services . If IT related issues occur, applicants should email DDS - providerdirectory@dds.ca.gov When emailing SDRC regarding a pending application, please include the application ticket number that begins with "NWVN." If the application is due to a revendorization, please include this information within the application and include the current vendor number and reason for revendorization Applications that are incomplete, incorrect, have a significant amount of required revisions, and are not orderly will be rejected and applicants will be asked to reapply. Who Can Use Vendored Providers? Once vendored, a service provider may be utilized by other regional centers, known as “user” or “utilizing” regional centers, as well as the originally vendoring regional center. (NOTE: The vendor identification number assigned by the vendoring regional center must be used by all regional centers purchasing the vendored service.) Do you need help? For on-demand resources, such as step-by-step guides, FAQs, and an overview of the vendorization process, go to the DDS How to Become a Vendor web page . If you have questions or need help with the process, contact us at vendorization@sdrc.org . We're here to support you every step of the way. Important Note About Vendorization: Pursuant to Title 17 of the CCR section 54322(d)(10) , vendorization does not guarantee that individuals will be referred or placed with a vendored provider.
