Is it true that Office Depot is not participating in the U.S. Communities/LA County RFP?
A. Yes. Office Depot was awarded the office supplies contract by Los Angeles County in 1996, 2000, and 2005. The LA County agreement, which serves as the lead agency contract for office supplies under the U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance, is set to expire on January 1, 2011. LA County is currently soliciting proposals for a new contract (the “RFP”). For the reasons set forth below, and in consultation with our Board of Directors, we have chosen not to submit a proposal. We deeply appreciate and value our 14+ year partnership with LA County and U.S. Communities. Needless to say, we did not make this decision lightly. Office Depot has honored and will continue to honor fully the terms of the existing office supplies contract it has with LA County until that agreement expires on January 1, 2011.
