			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Participating <a title="Purchasing Solutions Alliance webpage" href="http://www.psabuy.org">Purchasing Solutions Alliance (PSA)</a> member entities have the opportunity to further increase savings through continuous use of PSA Contract No. 08-100 for office supply needs and more! PSA has approved an Amendment to our cooperative contract with OfficeMax which improves the structure of the rebate program for the sole purpose of providing additional value and savings to our members.</p>
<p><strong>Please see below for details of these improvements to the rebate program:</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Volume Incentives</span></strong><br />
.5% rebate increased to 1% rebate for members that purchase $500,000 or less in a year.<br />
1% rebate increased to 2% rebate for members that purchase $500,001 or more in a year.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Electronic Commerce Incentive</span></strong><br />
Participating members receive1% rebate on e-commerce purchases with 75% of purchases via <a href="http://www.officemaxsolutions.com">www.officemaxsolutions.com</a>.</p>
<p>Previously, this was .5% rebate for members that purchased $500,000 or less with 75% of purchases via e-commerce. AND 1% rebate for members that purchased $500,001 or more with 95% of purchases via e-commerce. Now, ALL members no matter size of budget can achieve some additional savings by focusing applicable purchases through on-line ordering.</p>
<p>See attached <a title="PSA/OfficeMax Flyer - Contract Details" href="http://www.bvcog.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/PSA-Contract-08-100-OMX-Flyer-v1.6.12.pdf">PSA/OfficeMax flyer</a> for more information.</p>
