Federal agencies that buy laundry equipment repeatedly often set up a blanket purchase agreement so they can order without a fresh competition each time. For a dealer, winning a place on a blanket purchase agreement is a position for recurring orders.
What the agreement is
A blanket purchase agreement is a federal arrangement, often built on a GSA Schedule, that sets terms for repeated orders over a period. Once it is in place, the agency issues orders against it, and the competition happens when the agreement is established or when orders are competed among holders.
Why it changes the path to the order
When laundry demand runs through a blanket purchase agreement, the orders go to the holders rather than the open market. The agent flags when an agency establishes or competes a blanket purchase agreement for laundry and tracks the orders so a dealer pursues the agreement and the orders against it.
How the agent handles it
Our agent tracks blanket purchase agreement solicitations and orders alongside open bids by the laundry codes, and scores the fit against your lines and your federal vehicles so the recurring agreement demand is not missed.
