First and foremost, you need access to the vendor's MySQL databases, or the ability to put their inventory into your MySQL database.  

osCommerce is completely driven off of MySQL and a certain table structure within.  The thing you are trying to do is no easy task requiring lots of modifications to osCommerce.  I can imagine that you will need to create a vendors table to track a list of vendors and a vendor id column added into the products table if not in many other places.
