Programs for state and local government
We offer programs that enable state and local government, as defined in 40 U.S.C. 502 (c)(3), to buy commercial products, services, and solutions from us through our Multiple Award Schedule contracts program during normal operations and when dealing with extreme events. We also have two donation programs that state and local government can use to get computers and personal property, such as office furniture, medical supplies, and construction equipment. Consider some of the reasons to use our state and local programs.
