Government & municipal
Public-sector supply purchasing for municipal departments and agencies
AFS Wholesale supports city and county departments, public agencies, administrative offices, and facilities teams with dependable replenishment, account pricing, purchase-order and tax-exempt support, and multi-location control — for the office, facility, and operational supplies public organizations reorder most.
AFS Wholesale supplies office, facility, and administrative products to public organizations. We make no claim to hold cooperative purchasing contracts, GSA schedules, set-aside certifications, or public contract awards unless separately verified in writing.
Built for public-sector supply buyers
Public organizations balance budget accountability, purchase-order workflows, tax-exempt status, and supply continuity across many departments and sites. AFS Wholesale helps municipal departments, administrative offices, and facilities teams standardize the everyday products they reorder most — office and administrative supplies, cleaning and janitorial consumables, safety products, technology accessories, furniture, breakroom, and mailroom items — with account pricing, saved lists, and fast reordering.
We focus on office, facility, and administrative categories for public agencies. We make no representation about holding any public contract, cooperative agreement, or government certification unless separately confirmed in writing.

Purchase orders, tax-exempt status, and multi-location buying
Public organizations can purchase on approved purchase orders, apply tax-exempt status to eligible orders, and organize buying across departments and sites. Configure company locations, designate buyers, and route orders through approval workflows so purchasing stays accountable. We support PO-based ordering and provide invoices for your records. Learn more about purchase-order purchasing, tax-exempt setup, and multi-location purchasing.
Quotes and solicitation responses
Our team can prepare written quotes for the categories your departments reorder and, where appropriate, respond to public solicitations and requests for quotation. Share your item lists, quantities, and any submission requirements, and an account specialist will follow up. AFS Wholesale participates in quoting and solicitation responses on a case-by-case basis; we do not represent that we hold any cooperative contract, schedule, or award.

Multi-location and approved-list purchasing
