Section 2430.32 - Qualified vendor certificate(a) The qualified vendor certificate states that the named vendor has completed the educational and training requirements for the Business Enterprise Program (BEP) and is qualified to operate a BEP facility. The certificate is valid for an indefinite period and may be revoked only for cause, or if the vendor leaves the program-see § 2430.161 (relating to disciplinary action). The vendor must receive a written advance notice of 30 calendar days if the Office of Blindness and Visual Services (BVS) decides to revoke the certificate. The vendor must be afforded the opportunity for an appeal and fair hearing in accordance with §§ 2430.201-2430.203 (relating to fair hearing procedure).(b) During the 30-day period, the vendor may ask BVS to reconsider the revocation of the certificate. BVS may reinstate the vendor's certificate after satisfactory compliance with conditions mutually agreed upon by the vendor and the district manager, if it is determined that necessary correction to the operation of the facility has been made or that an agreed plan of correction will be implemented.
