IBC Reimbursement Clarification

Approved certifying entities that appear in the Industry-Based Approved Vendor Crosswalk with a C226 code may be federal/state organizations affiliated with multiple local chapters/affiliations. These local chapters/affiliations are approved vendors due to their organization affiliation with the main organization. When an IBC is obtained from the local chapter/affiliation, districts can report the C226 code for the main federal/state organization in PEIMS.

An example scenario follows:

The Independent Electrical Contractors Texas (C226 code: 300) is a state certifying entity with multiple affiliated local certifying entities. All the local chapters of the Independent Electrical Contractors of Texas who are affiliated with the Independent Electrical Contractor of Texas will use the C226 code noted above. A list of these local chapters and information on the Electrical Apprenticeship Certification can be found on the Industry-Based Certifications High Schools Program tab on the Independent Electrical Contractors Texas website.
