Purchasing directly from B.E. Meyers & Co. is often the most simple and straightforward avenue of procurement for international buyers or entities. B.E.

For domestic orders, a scheduled call with a staff member will provide you with the information you need to understand what solutions and support are available to you as you acquire B.E. Meyers & Co. Technology.
GSA
GSA is a centralized procurement arm for the federal government. GSA offers access to various B.E. Meyers & Co. products. A federal agency can place an order through GSA catalogs, by phone or fax, charge cards, electronic requisitioning over the Internet, or by contacting suppliers directly. B.E. Meyers & Co. has successfully processed many procurement requests through GSA, and if the customer qualifies for the GSA procurement process, it is a great option for quick and easy product acquisition.
GSA Advantage!® is the primary online shopping system for GSA approved product purchases. Many B.E. Meyers & Co. products can be found on gsaadvantage.gov. Purchasing through GSA Advantage!® is an easy way to access pre-authorized equipment, and leverage prior testing and evaluation work completed by other government entities. State and local government entities can now use GSA Advantage!® to purchase products and services under both the Cooperative Purchasing Program and the Disaster Recovery Purchasing Program.
DLA
The Defense Logistics Agency is a good solution for those looking to take advantage of a more tailored procurement solution. The DLA works with three main categories of public sector customer. The primary customer is deployed US warfighters, but it also services non-deployed warfighters and U.S. military facilities such as installations, depots and shipyards, and other U.S. government agencies and allied and partner nations.
If you or your organization falls under one of these three primary categories, then procurement through the Defense Logistics Agency may be a solution available to you. If you require the purchase of a high volume of B.E. Meyers & Co. products, you may be able to take advantage of some of the benefits that procuring through DLA has. While GSA purchasing avenues are ideal for small order quantities on an ad hoc basis, DLA orders often represent a longer term and larger commitment to a B.E. Meyers & Co. technology solution. This expanded relationship may provide you with opportunities to develop custom solutions and optimized logistics support.
