Documentation of DVC Selection

SOs and DVCs are responsible for mutually agreeing to and making a contract.

SOs should document the process they use to select their DVC, and upon request by CMS, show how their chosen DVC meets the minimum qualifications, credentials, and resources as described in Appendix A of the 2025 DV Manual. SOs should keep a copy of the verifying documentation denoting that all DVC staff assigned to the applicable DV team completed the 2025 CMS DV training.

CMS requires that the SO keep the documentation for 10 years, per federal regulations.
