Established Authorized Reseller Program (EARP) Established Authorized Resellers are a subset of Authorized Resellers for products and services where Reseller/Provider relationships are most critical. • EARP applies when a Provider (OEM or Service Provider) meets the following: • There is a program for companies to be designated as Authorized Resellers; • There is a documented process to designate Authorized Resellers; • There is a Point of Contact who verifies Federal Authorized Resellers; and • There is a benefit/consequence for the Government when purchasing or not purchasing from an Authorized Reseller. • A SEWP Contract Holders is an Established Authorized Reseller: • For a Provider meeting the above criteria • When that Provider has verified the Authorized Reseller relationship.
