ABACC's New Staples Agreement

In March, with the help of E&I Cooperative Services, Staples created a custom program just for ABACC members. This program has increased the opportunities for ABACC members to achieve cost savings and purchasing rebates while still utilizing a trusted E&I partner.

Highlights of the Agreement

All ABACC members can purchase products from Staples on the E&I contract (CR001309). By utilizing this agreement, ABACC and its members are eligible for rebates based on the aggregate spend of participating members.  ABACC member schools will be eligible for a custom annual volume rebate based on the annual combined net sales of all participating member schools. 

ABACC members can utilize this new agreement with or without BlankBuy, E&I's no-cost, turnkey marketplace.
