OfficeMax — Office Supplies Delivery Moves to a 3-Day Schedule

From Jim Draper, Purchasing: KSC/USNH has enjoyed a strong relationship with our contracted office products supply vendor, OfficeMax, for many years. This contract, through the Educational and Institutional Cooperative, consistently provides us with quality office supplies at heavily discounted prices. OfficeMax also provides each USNH institution with annual rebates based upon their sales to us.

We can increase our annual rebate by changing our campus delivery schedule, increasing our online orders, and grouping purchases. OfficeMax has agreed to provide KSC with an additional 1.5% annual rebate by delivering KSC office supplies on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays instead of our current five-day delivery program. In this current climate of tight budgets, and in an effort to increase revenue opportunities, we will begin this three-day-a-week OfficeMax delivery schedule as of 1/26/09.

We are always looking for ways to stretch our budget dollars, and we appreciate your willingness to continue to work with us towards our goals of timely and cost-effective procurement practices. Please feel free to contact us about this initiative or others that you would like to discuss (8-2493).
