I would refer your vendor to your state's version of the Uniform Commercial Code. Assuming they use the model verbiage, the if your "Official Checks" are drawn on a bank other than yourself, they would meet the definition of "Teller's Check" which still has the same 90 day period before a claim of a lost/stolen instrument can be enforced.
UCC 3-312 "Teller's check" means a draft drawn by a bank (i) on another bank, or (ii) payable at or through a bank.
