Report Title: Purchase Order Amendment with AAA Business Supplies & Interiors.
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, an amendment to a blanket purchase order with AAA Business Supplies & Interiors (AAA), to increase the payment limit by $500,000 to a new payment limit of $5,000,000 and extend the term through May 31, 2026, for office products and supplies to be used throughout the County.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Products costs are paid by County Departments. (100% User Departments)
BACKGROUND:

Prices are based on the Omnia Partners Cooperative Purchasing Contract #R190301. This blanket purchase order allows the County to consolidate purchases and maximize savings. AAA is a small, local provider that can assist the County in meeting its small business goals.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without this amendment, the blanket purchase order with AAA Business Supplies & Interiors will expire May 31, 2025.
