A blanket order generally includes <br />established prices, terms, and conditions for a defined period of time, although without specifying <br />quantities. Shipments are to be made when and as required by the purchaser, which, in most cases, <br />may be the end user department (Public Works, CCS, Building, Information Technology etc.). <br />This Resolution authorizes a blanket purchase order with Staples for Office Supplies, IT equipment anc <br />other supplies for the fiscal year 2023-2024 in an amount not to exceed $65,000.00. The City shall <br />utilize State of Florida Contract No. 44111513-17-01 which expires 04/17/27 to purchase office anc <br />other supplies from Staples, in accordance with Section 62-13(c) of the City Code. The collectiv( <br />buying power of these unified contracts, via the State of Florida delivers superior value and savings for <br />public agencies nationwide. Piggybacking the State of Florida contract allows the city to take <br />advantage of substantial discounts, which can range up to 21% off or more on office supplies <br />compared to an account that is not linked to the piggyback contract. <br />Some of the purchases made by City departments include, but are not limited to, office supplies, office <br />furniture, IT supplies, breakroom supplies, copy paper, toners, white boards, paper shredder, folders, <br />Item Number: 10.0 <br />71 <br />
