| 05-13-2015 : | For clarification purposes, state master contract 04411, Office Supplies and Paper is the only current office supplies contract that is valid for the State of Washington. The State of Washington is currently in the process of preparing to rebid the ink and toner portion of this contract. Any communication from any vendor other than Office Depot claiming to have a current valid contract which they can sell office supplies is not accurate. The State of Washington has not written a participating addendum to any NASPO ValuePoint (formerly WSCA-NASPO) contract surrounding office supplies, ink/toner, or paper. Based on feedback from our customers, the State of Washington decided to extend state master contract 04411 with Office Depot. With its own office supply contract in place, the State of Washington does not want to create a separate agreement for the same commodity that may be in direct conflict. If you have any questions, please contact Breann Aggers at breann.aggers@des.wa.gov or (360) 407-9416. | |
