Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Mohave Vendors
The Reconciliation Report is a monthly reporting to Mohave of payments received on Mohave contract purchase orders. Each month on or before your company’s assigned due date, you should send Mohave a Reconciliation Report detailing payments from the previous month. For example, if your company’s due date is the 10th of each month, you are required to send the report of payments made in February on or before March 10th. A sample of what Mohave is looking for in a Reconciliation Report can be found in the Vendor Handbook. Exhibit 16 is the sample Reconciliation Report.
Five days prior to the date your company’s Reconciliation Report is due, Mohave sends the Open Order Report. This is a monthly information-only report. The report lists all open regular orders (excluding blanket purchase orders and E-Rates) in Mohave’s database for your contract or contracts. The report is also meant as a tool to help you with your Reconciliation Report. No response is required on this report.
Per Mohave contract terms, admin fee payments must be submitted monthly, unless the amount is less than $20. For amounts of less than $20, you should send your regular Reconciliation Report but add the fee to the next month’s admin fee payment.
Mohave contract pricing can be fixed price, a percentage of a specified price list or a combination of both. The specific method of pricing will be established at the time of the contract award. If your contract uses a discount off a price list, you must provide us with new pricelists as they are issued to you. New pricelists are in effect upon Mohave’s approval of them. Fixed price contracts must be updated with a complete price update on each anniversary of your contract. Generally, that is the only time fixed-price contracts can be adjusted. However, in rare instances when a legitimate, demonstrable cost increase clearly affects the contractor’s ability to sell at the current price, Mohave may consider fixed price increases at times other than the contract anniversary. Fixed prices can be lowered at any time. See your contract for details on price changes. All price changes are subject to Mohave’s approval.
No, price increases and reductions, special offers, quantity discounts, etc. must be received and approved by Mohave before they are offered to members. If you are not sure if your pricing has been approved or have any questions, please contact your assigned contract specialist.
Yes, you can have promotional pricing for our members. Promotional pricing must be submitted to your Mohave contract specialist for approval before making the pricing available to members. If you are not sure if your proposed pricing is acceptable under your Mohave contract, please contact your assigned contract specialist for guidance.
Mohave is looking for ways to help our Reconciliation Reporting become a smooth process. The Remedial Reconciliation Report enables our vendors to work directly with the Procurement Specialist to ask questions, resolve issues and catch errors before their final report is submitted.
Mohave will provide this assistance for three reporting months. If issues continue after the three months, a three-month extension or escalation may occur.
In addition to the Vendor Handbook on our website, Mohave offers a Mohave 101 class for our new vendors or those wanting to refresh their knowledge. This class is designed to help vendors understand the Arizona procurement rules and selling under Mohave contracts. You will be contacted to schedule your class shortly after your contract has been awarded.
Please contact our office at 928-753-6945 for more training information.
