School System Receives Needed Safety Supplies Amidst Pandemic

School System Receives Needed Safety Supplies Amidst Pandemic

  • Written by OMNIA Partners
  • 28th March 2022

During the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, a large public school system located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States was in desperate need of pandemic supplies to protect the well-being of their students, staff, and parents. Serving over 60,000 students ranging from pre-kindergarten to adult students, the school system was searching for highly sought-after safety supplies such as hand sanitizer, disinfectants, masks, and gloves and solicited a request for proposal.

The challenge the public school system was facing was the lack of receiving physical samples or product specification sheets prior to a purchase during their initial solicitation process. This created complications with the school system not fully knowing if they were purchasing quality supplies for an appropriate price.

A local Network distributor, who has had an existing relationship with the school system, helped them leverage the OMNIA Partners contract. The OMNIA Partners contract is a competitively solicited cooperative contract which established costs including name-brand products for Pandemic Safety Supplies. The Network distributor was also able to provide the requested samples, specification sheets, and time frames for these highly sought-after products. Because of their years of working together and being backed by Network’s organization, the distributor was able to provide firm time frames of when to expect a delivery and what items would be delivered.

Due to the purchasing power of the OMNIA Partners contract, the school system was able to:

  • Secure the necessary supplies they needed in a timely fashion
  • Receive quality products
  • Work with a reliable distributor they had an existing relationship with
  • Follow their current payment terms despite the pandemic
