There is an exciting new marketplace for purchasing office supplies within the U.S. Postal Service®.
In the past, we have had only one mandatory source for office supplies — OfficeMax. With the implementation of eBuy2, you now have the ability to purchase office supplies from three office supply contractors, each of which will be competing for your business through catalogs posted on eBuy2.
The three suppliers are:
n American Product Distributors: Contract Number 2DOSEQ-10-B-0033
“American Product Distributors (APD) is a minority- and veteran-owned small business that utilizes USPS Priority Mail for all deliveries.”
n Customer Service: 866-826-6220
n Contract Questions: John Ham 800-849-5842, ext. 203
n OfficeMax: Contract Number 2DOSEQ-10-B-0034

n Customer Service: 866-757-8133
n Contract Questions: John Gavin 571-299-9415
Whenever you need to purchase office supplies, you will be able to perform a search in eBuy2 for the products required and obtain competitive prices instantly from these three suppliers. eBuy2 makes it easy to select and compare products from the supplier(s) that best meet your needs, and if price is equal, think green and purchase an environmentally preferable product.
Can you get supplies from more than one supplier at the same time? Absolutely — just add to your shopping cart, and once your requisition has been approved, eBuy2 will send purchase orders to each supplier.
If you need to access the Material Logistic Bulletins (MLBs) for these new contracts, need additional information, or just have a general question, visit us on the Intranet at http://blue.usps.gov/purchase/services/escmc/officeproducts.htm.
