CMC Government Supply Volume Purchasing Contracts
A CMC Government Supply Volume Purchasing Agreement (VPA) can be custom tailored to any agency need. Our VPA can cover a wide range of equipment for the public safety and first responder communities. There is a guaranteed minimum annual purchase commitment that an agency must purchase to qualify for a Volume Purchasing Agreement.
Benefits and Cost Savings of a Volume Purchasing Agreement
Product Selection – The Volume Purchasing Agreement can cover a broad array of public safety equipment, parts & services or a very specific set of approved items for purchase.
Competitive Pricing – The Volume Purchasing Agreement can include fixed item pricing or a cost plus pricing based upon annual purchase commitments allowing any agency the ability to save even more.
Payment Option Savings – CMC Government Supply offers many different payment options. Each Volume Purchasing Agreement will have the agencies payment option of choice, however, pricing is based on whichever option an agency chooses. Agreement pricing will be based upon agreed payment terms for all purchases. For example, fast payment by direct deposit will earn an agency the maximum savings versus the convenience of payment via purchasing cards that have a higher transaction cost.
Minimum Order Cost Savings – The higher the Volume Purchasing Agreement minimum order amount, the lower the pricing.
Shipping Cost Savings – There is a cost associated with shipping every order. A CMC Volume Purchasing Agreement can allow an agency to use its carrier of choice and bill their account to earn the maximum product discount we can offer. CMC can also prepay and bill shipping costs to each order. Either way, CMC will process and ship every order quickly.
Term of the Agreement Administration Savings – CMC offers one, two and three year Volume Purchasing Agreements depending upon terms and annual purchase commitments.
