SPC Announces New Combined Office Supplies & Janitorial Supplies Contract The Suburban Purchasing Cooperative (SPC) Governing Board is pleased to announce the award of a combined Office Supplies & Janitorial Supplies Contract (#189) by piggybacking onto the National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA) agreement with American Office Products Distributors (AOPD), solicited and awarded by lead agency Region XIV Education Service Center (ESC), Abilene, Texas. The contract is effective immediately and will expire on May 31, 2020. The contract can then be renewed annually for an additional five years, if mutually agreed to by Region XIV ESC and American Office Products Distributors, Inc. (AOPD).

The contract vendor for these programs is Warehouse Direct of Des Plaines, who has been a valued vendor for the SPC for over ten years. Combining Office Supplies and Janitorial Supplies onto one contract will simplify ordering for contract participants. Under the contract, orders are delivered next day with no minimum order requirement and free standard delivery.

Under this agreement, all Suburban Purchasing Cooperative members, non-profit and “public agency” participants will be grouped under one Master SPC Account to aggregate all purchases towards volume rebate incentives. Additionally, individual entities will receive up to a 1% e-commerce rebate paid in the form of a credit towards future purchases no later than 45 days from the end of each quarter (40-79% online = 0.5% rebate; 80% or more purchased online = 1% rebate). For questions or additional information, please contact staff or Warehouse Direct Account Executive Spencer Touchie, 847-631-7188 or stouchie@warehousedirect.com or Account Executive Rick Schackle, 847-631-7428 or rickschackle@warehousedirect.com.
