Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) + Education Procurement Contracts
Our partnerships with group purchasing organizations (GPOs) and public sector contract vehicles enable us to provide competitive pricing and streamline the procurement process, helping educational organizations save time and money without compromising on quality. We have a number of contracts and GPOs available to our education customers to leverage today to procure their Apple technology.
