K-12 schools
Classroom, custodial, and district purchasing supplies for K-12 schools
AFS Wholesale supports district procurement, school administrators, teachers, facilities and custodial crews, IT departments, and accounts payable with dependable replenishment, account pricing, and multi-location control across every building in the district.
AFS Wholesale supplies classroom, custodial, facility, and administrative products for schools. Tax-exempt purchasing is available to qualifying schools and districts subject to application and an approved exemption certificate.
Built for the way schools and districts buy
K-12 buying rarely follows a straight line. A teacher needs classroom consumables, a head custodian needs cleaning chemicals and can liners, the front office needs copy paper and toner, IT needs cables and peripherals, and every purchase order may need to route through a business manager or accounts payable before it ships. AFS Wholesale brings those needs onto one account so schools and districts can standardize the products they reorder most and keep every building stocked.
Whether you order for a single campus or coordinate purchasing for an entire district, we help you build approved lists, control who can buy what, and reorder by location — with account pricing, saved carts, and purchase-order support.

District-wide purchasing, approved lists, and tax exemption
Districts get the most value when every school orders from the same playbook. Company accounts let you build approved product lists, assign buyers to each building, and reorder location by location so campuses stay consistent and on budget. Business managers and accounts payable can review purchase orders, quotes, and invoices in one place.
Qualifying schools and districts can purchase tax-exempt once we have an approved exemption certificate on file — submit your certificate here. To coordinate ordering across every campus, see multi-location purchasing, or apply for a business account to get started.

Coordinate purchasing across every campus
Multi-building districts can standardize on approved products, control which buyers order for which schools, and reorder site by site. Company accounts, locations, and approval workflows are configured on our B2B account platform so the district office keeps visibility while each campus gets what it needs.
