Say Goodbye to Backorders, Missed Shipments, and Inadequate Sales Support
How AOPD Streamlined a State University’s Office Supply Delivery
A public liberal arts and sciences institution was experiencing problems with their office supply deliveries, including late and inaccurate deliveries, unreliable sales support, backorders and missed shipments.
By partnering with an AOPD, the university located in Missouri enjoyed a wide range of product selection, easy ordering, and flexible billing and payment options. With AOPD, the university no longer had to sacrifice local service for the advantages of a national program.
Benefits of NCPA Contract
Before partnering with AOPD, the school was using a vendor that held the State of Missouri contract and was encouraged to use them. AOPD started working with the university by setting up their departments under a National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA) contract.
NCPA offers a more comprehensive solution as a leading national government purchasing co-op that reduces the costs of goods and services by leveraging the purchasing power of public agencies in all 50 states. NCPA contracts are accessible to over 90,000 agencies nationwide in both the public and non-profit sectors, including colleges. However, many entities may not be aware of the eligibility for these discounts.

From the get-go, the state university experienced exceptional service and cost-competitive prices. With the elimination of frequent shipping errors, the head of purchasing could now use her time more efficiently and effectively. She has been thrilled with the personal attention and dedicated representation she receives from AOPD.
