AOPD and New England Office Supply Receive GSA Contract

Braintree, MA - AOPD, on behalf of its member dealers has received approval for a multi-year global office products contract under the General Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Service program. The contract is designed to make it easier for New England Office Supply (NEOS) to compete by giving them a vehicle to pursue government business.

"We look forward to working with AOPD for GSA business," stated NEOS President/CEO, Indira Patel. "Our contract will present NEOS with the opportunity to pursue the multi-billion dollar federal market on a level playing field with some of the larger, national suppliers."

AOPD has created a special GSA price list, to accompany its 10,000 sku catalog, as well as a GSA-specific web site in order to simplify the procurement process for government buyers. In addition, AOPD will provide special government sales training session for NEOS to assist sales teams in generating and maintaining Federal business.

"We anticipate our GSA initiative will provide significant new revenue opportunities for our dealers" said Frank Tschida, AOPD's President. "This is just another example of how AOPD provides value for its members and helps them compete for business they could not easily obtain on their own."
