The Purchasing Department recommends awarding this bid to O’Kelley Office Supply and
Officewise Furniture & Supply based on each vendor’s discount for office supplies and
furniture. Using this procedure will benefit all entities involved to find various brands of
office supplies and furniture through different catalogs and warehouses.
The process of awarding to more than one vendor has been very beneficial for all
concerned. The City of Abilene, Community Supervision and Corrections Department
and the Central Appraisal District will participate in using the bid together with Taylor
County through Inter-local Agreements.
