I was hoping it might support logit as well.
I indicated OLS because I am performing OLS regression.

The help file says
"-vselect- performs variable selection for linear regression."
As I understand it, there is no sense in which it supports -ologit- or works with -ologit-.
That would require major re-engineering of the program on your part (indeed, I guess wildly, substantial innovation in terms of thinking of the appropriate criteria to use).
Note: you say OLS, but -vselect- is not restricted to plain regression. It can take various weights. Thus characterising it as using OLS is incorrect.
Earlier today I commented on the bizarre practice of saying "OLS" when regression in general is meant.
But I'd contact Charles Lindsey at StataCorp for the definitive word. (I've sent him a copy of this.)

Didn't find any documentation on this, so must ask, does vselect also work with ologit regressions as well as OLS?
-vselect- is
